BARM BRACK (IRISH WHISKEY TEA LOAF)



Barm Brack (Irish Whiskey Tea Loaf) image

Traditional Irish tea bread served around Halloween once used to foretell marriage by baking a ring in the loaf and waiting for someone to get it. Whoever gets it is supposed to be the next to marry. I only make it once a year around Halloween and I have family members that ask for a second mini loaf to freeze for later in the year. Never gave the recipe out until now. I like it with coffee or tea in the morning very sweet and heavy.

Time P1DT2h

Yield 3-5 Loafs

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pints strong brewed tea (or half strong tea and half irish wiskey I prefer the half and half method)
1 lb golden raisin
1 lb black raisins
1 lb brown sugar
1 lb all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs
6 tablespoons honey, melted (I use huckleberry honey for mine)

Steps:

  • First soak the raisins and sugar in the tea (or tea and whiskey) overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Add Flour, baking powder, and eggs to the tea mixture.
  • Spoon the dough into a greased loaf pans. You should be able to fill 3 loaf pans, 8x4 inches (20x10 cm). (I prefer to make them in ready to give away little loaf pans which makes about five per batch).
  • Place loaf pans in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 45minutes.
  • Leave Bram Brack to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and glaze the top with the melted honey. ( If you go with the small give away kind let cool then leave in tin drizzle honey on the top and cover with a little room on top and then give them away when ready.).

This is a Irish tea bread and it is very good. I have also ADDED a little Bushmills Irish Whiskey to this when soaking raisins and peel mixture overnight. (small amount to the tea) so the tea still measures 1 cup. maybe 1 tsp to 1 tablespoon.
