Honey Rhubarb And Strawberry Bread Food

HONEY, RHUBARB, AND STRAWBERRY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175ºC). Generously grease a loaf pan and line with a sling of parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the flours, oats, baking powder, and salt. In a second bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix just to combine. Fold in the chopped rhubarb and the diced strawberries.
• Transfer the batter in the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top. If desired, slice additional strawberries and set them over the top of the cake for a pretty presentation.
• Bake the cake for about 70 minutes, until the cake is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. IMPORTANT BAKING NOTE: Honey accelerates browning, so the top will brown before the bread is actually cooked through. After 50 minutes, check on the bread: if it looks beautifully golden brown, simply cover loosely with aluminum paper to stop the browning but finish baking the bread through.
• Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to let the bread cool completely to room temperature.
• STORAGE: Store the Honey, Rhubarb, and Strawberry Bread in an airtight container, or wrapped in plastic, at room temperature for up to two days, or in the fridge for up to a week. The bread can also be frozen for up to three months.
• SERVING: Serve the bread thickly sliced at room temperature or toasted, with butter and honey, or a rhubarb and strawberry compote.

STRAWBERRY, RHUBARB, ORANGE, HONEY JAM

Steps:

• Dice rhubarb and place in pan with a little water over medium heat and cook until tender.
• Slice strawberries in quarters and then mash slightly and add to pan with rhubarb.
• Add lemon juice and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce eat and cook for about 20-30 minutes. Mixture will start to get thick.
• Add orange juice, zest, and cinnamon to pan and stir together. Continue cooking.
• In separate bowl, combine honey and pectin. I use sage honey, but clover would be good as well. You want to use a light colored honey.
• Add honey/pectin to the jam mixture and stir. Cook for about 5 more minutes.
• Remove from heat and fill jars to 1/4" of top. Recipe makes eight 8oz. jars.
• Wipe rims clean and screw on 2-piece lids.
• Submerge sealed jars into hot water at 200 degrees (or boiling) for 10 minutes. You will hear a "pop" sound once jars are removed from water - that is when the lids are sealed. Let cool on your kitchen counter.
