I love this thread so much! 😍
This weekend, I wanted to make some barmbrack in celebration of Halloween.
My Irish mother-in-law and I followed the same recipe, from different kitchens on opposite sides of the pond.
We used
this method from Donal Skehan and it was easy super easy to follow.
It turned out really, and pairs nicely with a cup of Barry's tea.
Note: for others making this recipe in the US, we don't have the equivalent of "mixed fruit" so I just used raisins, dried apricots, dried cherries, and dried dates. I cut up the larger fruits so it was all about the same size. It woked well that way, but you could just as easily use only raisins, ect.
I also converted the recipe into cups -- it's about 1.5 cups of flour and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. 😊
10/10 recommend! Enjoy!
