This recipe is found in “Out of the House of Bread” by Preston Yancey, p 146.
The book is about prayer and it’s about baking bread. It guides the reader to explore nine spiritual disciplines while repeatedly making the same basic loaf of bread. Discovering the parallels of practice and patience required to master both.
In the chapter on “Feasting”, Yancey shares recipes for this sweet butter and simple strawberry preserves that are both easy to make AND absolutely delightful. Together they turned an ordinary loaf of bread into the highlight of a memorable feast.
