About Barmbrack

Barmbrack is a traditional Irish fruit bread, often enjoyed during Halloween but cherished year-round for its sweet and lightly spiced flavor. It is made with a yeast-raised dough enriched with dried fruits like raisins and sultanas, which are typically soaked in tea—sometimes spiked with whiskey—for added flavor. Barmbrack contains flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and a mix of warm spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. While its dried fruits contribute vitamins, minerals, and fiber, Barmbrack is relatively high in sugar, meaning it should be enjoyed in moderation. Historically, small tokens were baked inside the bread, serving as playful fortune-telling symbols. Low in fat due to its minimal butter content, Barmbrack is a cozy treat that pairs perfectly with tea, offering both a touch of nostalgia and a taste of Irish culinary heritage.
