List of Ingredients

TRINIDAD SWEET BREAD
1 Coconut, grated
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 large Egg
3/4 cup Milk
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 tsp. Angostura Bitters
1/2 cup Butter, softened
3 cups All-purpose Flour
3 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 cup Mixed Peel
1 cup Raisins
1/2 cup Maraschino Cherries
1/2 cup Currants

Pre-heat the oven to 350-F degrees and lightly oil a 9-inch by 5-inch bread pan.

In a mixing bowl, blend together the grated coconut, sugar, egg, and milk. Add the vanilla, bitters, and butter; cream the mixture until thoroughly blended. Sift together the flour and the baking powder; add to the coconut-egg mixture. Add the mixed peel, raisins, maraschino cherries, and currants to the mix. Stir well with a wooden spoon to

blend the fruits through the dough-like batter. Pour the dough into the prepared bread pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool for several minutes before turning the sweet bread out onto a rack to cool completely.
