Samhain Recipes

Barmbrack Bread

Ingredients:

2 C. strong, hot black tea

3 1/2 C. mixed dried fruits (1c blueberries, 1c cranberries, 1c raisin medley, 1/2c cherries)

1 C. milk

2 tsp. active dry yeast

1 tsp. granulated sugar

3 C. bread flour

1 tsp. salt

1/4 C. brown sugar, packed

1/3 C. butter

1 lg. egg, beaten

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp. ground allspice

Preparation:

Soak dried fruits in tea overnight, or a few hours.

Heat milk until warm, sprinkle yeast and teaspoon granulated sugar over top and stir. Let sit in a warm place about 15 minutes, until foamy.

Stir together the flour, salt, spices, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and add egg, yeast mixture, and butter. Mix well with a wooden spoon.

Drain fruit well then add to dough. This should produce a smooth dough. If it's too gooey, add more flour.

Knead dough on a floured board about 5-10 minutes. Dough should be smooth, but just a little sticky.

Place dough in your greased cake or loaf pan, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, until doubled.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake barmbrack 30 minutes. Remove bread from the pan, flip it upside down, return it to the pan, and bake 20 minutes more. Bread is done cooking it sounds hollow when tapped on the sides. Cool on a rack before serving.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar or serve with butter and jam. Enjoy once of the tastiest and most traditional Samhain recipes around!

"LIBBY LIBBY LIBBY ... " If you are of a certain age, you sang that!

Libby's produces 85% of the canned pumpkin in the country, which is enough to make about 90 million pumpkin pies each year!

Libby's was started as Libby, McNeill & Libby, a canned meat company in Chicago, in the late 1800s. That's right—canned meat. The company brought canned pumpkin into its fold in the late 1920s, when it purchased Dickinson & Co. of Eureka, Illinois.

Today, Libby's is the most popular brand of canned pumpkin in the United States.
