Ingredients:
1 (20 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries, thawed and mashed
2 c. sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
4 eggs
3 c. self-rising flour, divided
1 c. chopped pecans

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Coat two 9x5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, with an electric beater on low speed, beat strawberries, sugar, oil and eggs until well-mixed.  Add 2 1/2 c. flour and continue beating until well-combined.

In a small bowl, toss pecans with remaining 1/2 c. flour then stir into strawberry mixture.  Pour into prepared loaf pans.

Bake 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool slightly then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Note~ Top with butter or cream cheese (strawberry cream cheese works well).
