Recipe Added:  3/28/2012
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese, softened
2 10-oz pkgs strawberries, sliced
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 3-oz jar macadamia nuts, chopped
Strawberry Spread: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Drain strawberries, reserving 1/4 cup juice for bread batter. Beat 6 Tbsp berries into the cream cheese. Set remaining berries aside. Chill spread until serving.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Combine the eggs, oil, reserved berries and juice. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the nuts (batter will be stiff). Transfer to two greased loaf pans. Bake 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to cool. Serve with spread.
