Recipes: Aunt Ada's Barm Brack Bread
Written by Nuala Galbari   

1 cup dry currants

1 1/2 cups of golden and dark raisins

1 cup of “boiling” black tea (as Nellie would have made)

1 teaspoon mixed spice (cinnamon, clove, allspice, nutmeg)

1 tablespoon maraschino cherries (chopped in halves)

4 teaspoons marmalade (with peel)

2 1/2 cups self rising flour

1 cup fine white sugar

1 egg


Place the dried fruit in a bowl and cover the fruit with the hot tea. Cover the bowl and allow this to soak overnight. The next day, add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Preheat the oven to 375F. Pour the mixture into a 7” round pan and bake in the center of the oven for 1 1/2 hours.

Allow the bread to cool while still in the pan, on a wire rack.

Barm Brack is usually served buttered, at high tea.
