1 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. lemon extract
4 eggs
3 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. strawberry jam or preserves
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. broken walnuts or pecans

Cream butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon extract until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together flour, salt, cream of tartar and soda. Combine jam and sour cream. Add jam mixture alternately with dry ingredients to creamed mixture, beating until well combined. Stir in nuts.

Grease and flour loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes or until done. Cool 10 minutes in pans. Remove from pans and wrap in foil paper. Freezes well.

You may serve with whipped cream cheese flavored with strawberry jam.

Variation: 1 cup dark brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar instead of the 1 1/2 cups sugar.
