Once a week, the stove was lit for baking day, as the heat began to fade in the stove, so a handful of currants was added to the last of the bread dough and this speckled bread became a treat.
The flavour, however, of this spiced, honey-glazed fruit bread is delicious when spread with salted Welsh butter, and it is no wonder that BaraBrith is still produced all over Wales.
Once cooked, leave the BaraBrith to stand for 5 minutes, then tip out of the tin on to a cooling tray.
