In the kitchen with Mum - Day 1 Bara Brith 'Speckled Bread'
Forget 70 hour weeks of unpaid 'stages' in awarded kitchens, take 10 minutes and learn from your mum. On this mornings list is Bara Brith a Welsh fruit bread sweetened with soaked dried fruits.
Just for the first stage you'll need:
150g raisins
150g sultanas
150g chopped mixed peel
125g brown sugar
300ml of black tea
Method:
Brew the tea, try to use 1 bag for every 100ml of boiling water.
Whilst the tea is brewing, mix together the dried fruit, the peel and the sugar.
Once the brew has reached the desired strength (personal choice but remember it will be sweetened by the fruit and brown sugar) pour the tea in with the fruit, peel and sugar mix, stir and then leave for 24 hours.
Check the post tomorrow for the next stage
