Strawberry Peach Quick Bread

This is a quick and easy way to use up the rest of your peaches before they spoil.  You can make this bread without the peaches, but then you have to ask yourself, "Why"?  It makes 3 mini loves.  You can use different size loaf pans, just remember to adjust the the cooking time.  All are baked at 350 degrees.  Just test with a cake tester or a toothpick to make sure that the bread is completely done and the tester or toothpick comes out clean. For the mini loaves, the cook time is 40 to50 minutes.
This makes about 18 1inch slices and serves 8 to 12 people but in reality it may make 6 slices and serve 2 people. And yes, it really is that delicious.

*a note about flour-Purchase the finest flour that you can afford. The cost difference between a store brand and a name brand is very slight but it makes all the difference in a finished product.

Enjoy with a nice cup of coffee or tea.
