Treat of the Week: A Delicious Raisin Bread

Moist and sweet with a delicate sugar glaze, this raisin bread is the perfect snack on a summer’s day with a glass of lemonade (or in the winter with a cup of tea, or…anytime). Breads like this are wonderful comfort foods. With cream cheese and berries or just a slice by itself, this is the sort of treat that will put the spring back in your step.


My mother has been making this bread for years, and, it’s a definite favorite of mine. I find that the bread is even better after a couple of days as the moisture in the bread softens the glaze just a little bit. It just melts in your mouth. Wonderfully comforting, this is the best medicine. Take three times a day. Use as directed. Seriously, it’s these small comforts that put us back on the path to more comfortable and beautiful lives.
