Strawberry Bread

2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 ts. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. chopped pecans (optional)
2 eggs
1/2 c. orange juice
1/4 c. milk
2 tsp. grated orange peel
1/3 c. butter or margarine, melted and cooled
1 c. chopped strawberries (can use fresh or frozen)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a 5x9 loaf pan. In a large bowl, combined flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg; mix well. Stir in pecans. In a medium bowl, beat eggs with orange juice, milk and orange peel; blend in butter. Add liquid mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Gently fold in strawberries. Spread batter in prepared loaf pan. Bake bread until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Remove bread from oven. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Turn bread onto rack and cool completely.
