Directions
Sugar Plum Bread With Homemade Butter, This was my very first attempt at bread and has become a constant in our house This is one of those things that just says Christmas , but good any time of year Freezes well Our son became the ‘official’ butter maker when he was only 4 Great fun and wonderful memories NOTE: Prep time does not include 3-1/2 hours of rising time , Well, what drew me to this recipe was ‘Sugar Plum’ & I wasn’t disappointed ~ This is a great ‘bread!’ I did, however, do a few things differently, since used diced dried fruit instead of the candied kind, & I didn’t shake up my own butter [got enough of that when I was a kid churning butter!] Still, I like the idea of the homemade butter, & as soon as I can find a willing kid Anyway, the bread is extremely good & well worth making again & again! Thanks for this recipe!
