"This is a hearty bread that can be eaten for breakfast. It is also sweet and can be a dessert or snack, too. I found this several years ago on ifood.tv and have been making it ever since. Sultana raisins are the same as golden raisins here in the US. I have to use California (grape) raisins in place of the currants, which are different in size. 16 servings would be 8 slices per loaf. The original recipe said 4 servings!"

Original is 16 servings

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day this month has been fun... I've tried all sorts of new foods and this was one of them. I'd never heard of a "brack" before... but it was a total success! It smells wonderful baking and it tastes like the holidays. It was nice to use cinnamon and nutmeg and allspice outside of Thanksgiving-Christmas. The dense bread was flavorful and went great with a cup of hot tea. I used a vanilla black tea to soak the fruit. I used golden raisins and dried cherries, as I couldn't find sultana or currants locally (how I envy the grocery stores in big cities!). The outside edges of the brack were crispy and hard, which were excellent when dunked into tea. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting bread -- I made 2 loaves plus 1 mini loaf with this recipe. I doubled the raisins (although I didn't measure them) and used 2 Earl Grey tea bags for the tea. I was out of allspice so skipped that but otherwise made as directed. It is a dense bread filled with raisins which my family enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your lovely recipe. It tasted as good as it smelled while baking. I soaked the fruits overnight, and made the recipe as written. It resulted in a dense sweet tea bread. The bread was filled with raisins and currants. I loved it. Served it warm with a little butter and coffee. So happy I tried this tasty treat. Made for Only the Lonely Tag Game.
