Zero stars. Mine was a gooey, nasty, uncooked mess. It stuck to a non-stick loaf pan that was sprayed with PAM! The edges that did cook had no strawberry flavor. I wish I had my ingredients, time, money and energy back. I followed the recipe precisely. Don't know what went wrong. I've never had such a disaster. Maybe it was my oven. I don't blame anyone but myself.

YUM! I had a bunch of fresh strawberries to use up and this recipe fit the bill. I used almost all whole wheat flour and substituted applesauce for half of the butter. Because I doubled the recipe, I ended up with 2 decent sized loaves. The bread doesn't rise that much, so the loaves turn out smaller than expected. But, I love the taste of the almond - adding the slivered almonds is a must. I didn't even make the topping - the bread was just fine without it and would be too sweet, in my opinion, with the glaze on top. Thanks for a really unique treat!
