Preparation

Step 1

Method:
(1) Macerate the berries. Chop strawberries and place in bowl. Sprinkle 2 TBS sugar over the berries. Allow to sit for a couple of hours (if you have time), until the strawberries are swimming in their own juices!

(2) Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.

(3) Toast the walnuts on a baking sheet for 7-9 minutes until fragrant. Immediately toss the walnuts with the 2 TBS butter. Allow to cool. Coarsely chop the nuts and set them aside.

(4) Mix flour, sugar, soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg with a whisk and set aside.

(5) Whisk together the zest of one lime, two eggs, heavy cream, and the strawberries (and their liquid). Whisk this wet mixture into the dry mixture until a sticky, wet dough forms. Stir in toasted walnuts and white chocolate chips.

(6) Pour dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
