Trixie-bacon delighted you tried and liked it! <br /><br />Irmhild, I usually get unwaxed lemons in tesco, but have to make do with scrubbed oranges!

It's the moistness that makes this so delicious isn't it?<br /><br />Mise, you won't be disappointed!Ciara Brehonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583812950426579762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767677079319000342.post-40471064678557033842010-10-29T23:32:21.027+01:002010-10-29T23:32:21.027+01:00oh that looks so yummy...

We were debating in work at tea break the other day about barm bracks of our childhood and what went into them and I think I remembered most of them - and now you list them all! Of course health and safety would preclude most from commercial bracks which is why I love the homemade version. One of my earliest memories of home made brack made by me was the recipe on the box of Bero Yeast! I still have it stuck into my old red All in the Cooking part one from home ec in school! <br />Thanks for reviving good memories, Catherine.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767677079319000342.post-91983559094806902392010-10-24T22:18:12.583+01:002010-10-24T22:18:12.583+01:00I think we'll have to start this Hallowe'e...I think we'll have to start this Hallowe'en tradition in our house.<br /><br />Love the Big Ears pinny, and the seaside tin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767677079319000342.post-3506168744898949262010-10-24T21:23:24.936+01:002010-10-24T21:23:24.936+01:00Tea brack is streets ahead of that dry whitish bar...Tea brack is streets ahead of that dry whitish barmbrack the shops sell, especially a lovely citrusy one like this.
