Boysenberry Jam Swirl Loaf

I was invited to Easter Dinner at my friend's place on Easter holiday. I was stayed in Wellington with not much things to do. 

I got some bread ideas for the birthday party for my friend. They are Beer sourdough Grissini and Sour cream onion loaf. I put recipe last time. Then after that, before Easter Dinner with friends, I had to cook something for Easter Dinner.

I was completely relaxed during my 4days holiday. I couldn't make up my mind what to cook for that.
OK, of cause, I wanted bake bread. Savory or Sweet....I expected my friends was bringing dishes for dinner.
OK, Sweet bread as dessert. After that idea, I was thinking, thinking, thinking...with my shelf and the fridge. Because super markets were closed on Easter.

I got boysenberry jam, eggs, butter and milk in the fridge. I baked Boysenberry Jam Swirl Loaf. Looks good for the party or big meal.
The dough is sweet rich taste with butter, egg, milk and sugar like brioche. But I used less sugar because of Jam.
