OLD-FASHIONED RAISIN BREAD
It is hard to believe that at one time—in a world where raisins had to be seeded with
your fingers before eating—raisins were so rare that they were not used in baking at
all, but served as a dessert delicacy by themselves. They were plumped in brandy and
wrapped in lemon leaves like a little gift. Today, California raisin production allows us
to use raisins liberally and, along with cinnamon bread, raisin bread is one of the most
common sweet breads made by home bakers. It is as good for peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches as it is toasted for breakfast.
