Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350*F and lightly grease a bread pan. The original recipe calls for 2 bread pans, but the bread doesn't rise at all so it bakes nicely in one pan.
- In a mixer cream together the brown sugar, shortening and butter.
- Add flour, salt, grated coconut, raisins, cherries, nutmeg and mix well.
- Stir in almond extract, evaporated milk, and water, until a firm dough is formed. (You may need to add additional water.).
- Split the dough evenly between the two pans, and use a knife to cut a diagonal criss-cross pattern on the top of each loaf. Sprinkle 1 tbsp turbinado sugar over the top of each loaf.
- Bake for about 1 hour, until a skewer inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean (Or a digital thermometer reads 190*F.) Cool completely in the pans before removing.
SWEET BREAD (BARBADOS)
This recipe is from week 23 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Barbados is my 23rd stop. I served this as a dessert, but Bajans usually have it as a snack with a cup of hot tea.
