I’ve had genuine Trinidad Candy Bread a number of instances
Direct off the aircraft from Barbados and from a neighborhood Bajan girl proper right here in New Jersey
My recipe for Trinidad Candy Bread makes use of barely completely different components than the genuine model
Being very cautious to not step on any Caribbean toes although, by placing my very own twist on issues.
I used to be reassured by my Bajan buddies that this bread can rival the actual factor! Go forward! attempt it!
The normal loaf makes use of candied fruit combine like inexperienced and purple cherries and a few raisins or currants.
However since I actually don’t like candied fruits I made a decision to make use of cranberries, raisins and even some minced crystallized ginger!
