   3       c            Flour
     1/2   c            Sugar
   4       ts           Baking powder
   1       ts           Salt
   8       tb           Butter -- chilled
   2                    Eggs
     1/2   c            Raspberry or strawberry jam
     3/4   c            Milk
   2       tb           Butter
   2       tb           Sugar
   2       tb           Raspberry or strawberry jam
  
  Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5x3" loaf pan. Combine the flour,
  sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a
  fork to mix all dry ingredients well. Cut the butter into small
  pieces and drop into the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a
  pastry cutter, rub or cut the cold butter into the flour until
  mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Beat the eggs well in a
  small bowl, add the jam or preserves and milk; whisk until the
  mixture is blended smooth. Stir the egg mixture into the flour
  mixture and stir only until no flour streaks show--the mixture will
  be lumpy. Spoon into the loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour 15
  minutes, or until a straw inserted into the center comes out clean.
  Allow loaf to remain in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before turning
  it out onto a rack.

  Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining the butter, sugar, and jam
  in a pan. Stir and bring to a simmer; continue stirring until
  dissolved and blended. Strain and then spoon the glaze over the
  loaf after it has cooled on the rack.
