The Divine Hostess haha, I have a rather small galley style kitchen. But I can still manage to make some nice eats in it! So I am happy in my kitchen and everyone is welcomed. :)
I am in the south, and our brack uses currants/sultanas really. This is lovely, we are all different but I associate those fruits with Xmas! I do use more nowadays, IE chopped crystallised ginger, especially with a fresh fruit too, a bit of apple or pineapple, or plum and decorate the bottom before the mix goes in. I also use dried spices a lot.
Thank you for your great recipe. I am Mauritian too and I really love Ireland's and all its beautiful culture. Will definitely give it a try hope you can post ther Irish recipe. A good tea time bread to share for next year's St Patrick's Day!
Jenifer Jean Pierre Yes Ireland is a beautiful country. I love the sceneries and nature. This bread is good for tea time anytime of the year. I used to buy it quite often in Ireland :)
francesca Ⓥ di leandro I haven't been to Connemara. I have been to Galway though, very beautiful. As you move out of Dublin city, it feels really different, so peaceful.
She said if you can't wait that long (like her) just let it cool down and slice it and eat it. Don't see any reason you can't refrigerate it. If you don't like eating it straight from the refrigerator cold then you can toast it or brown it both sides on a dry pan if you don't have a toaster like a lot of people in tropical countries. Just keep an eye on it because of the sugar content it can burn easily. Enjoy it toasted plain or buttered. I grew up in Ireland and my Mom would make this every year. Don't remember any 2 day waiting.
Barmbrack yummy!! I haven't eaten that since ages! Nostalgia is hitting me now....sweet Ireland :(. But I don't think I could find these in the Tesco near my place, or else I would have bought these. Also I don't get these types of dried fruits here. Mostly sultanas, cranberries and dates. The ones you use look more yummy. I bet I won't be able to wait for 2 days before eating the loaf, just like you....the smell itself would be killing me! :D
Bliss_within The Barmbrack sometimes also called fruit brack used to be in the bread section. It was mostly available in a round shape. Maybe you didn't pay attention or maybe your Tesco did not stock it. If you keep it for 2 days, the texture changes and the taste is more pronounced too. But maybe you should keep it in the fridge if it's warm there.
That's like Christmas vegan fruit thanks for sharing l may try my hand at it
I like the editing style on this one. Very nice touch. Boy do I wish I could just spend a day in your kitchen!

Do we need to keep them outside refrigerator for 2 days before eating.. temperature in our country is almost 30-35° c
