Hi Simone – thanks for the comments. Yeah, that honey sounds like a good crust. Must have soaked in a bit to the top, expanding the yumminess of the sweet crusty sugarness of course my favourite part

Hi Chennette,
I was jus searching for a sweetbread recipe found this page and was impressed. I love sweetbread, certainly not the dry choking ones. Liked your recipe, but for variation (and sweet tooths) my aunt always glazed the sweetbread top with honey then sugar … the crust was always my favourite….ummm delish!!!!

You know Natalie, I was so tempted to say, that is just like my mother, but fortunately my mother jumped in ahead of me to confirm it…
I can try new things, but how does that change the fact that I still don’t like the old things that I have already tried?
Mincing the mixed peel beyond recognition and taste is a lot of work to go through if it not going to be noticed in the final product. And for the record, I can taste the bitter bits that are mixed peel in the fruitcake, Mom, next time take a look at my plate after I have eaten…
Furthermore, the fact that people will eat the minced beyond recognition mixed peel does NOT mean that they have actually tried the mixed peel – so your basic premise about trying new things fails since, when and if these people TASTE the actual mixed peel, they STILL will never LIKE the actual mixed peel.
Just saying…and I am not picking on you Natalie, this is a lifelong argument on logic and tastebuds with Mom

Hi Natalie – I always put mixed peel in my fruit cake and for sure it is ground up and no one is any the wiser as they love my fruit cake especially Chennette. There are always ways to work around things ….
I always minced chicken and made chicken dumplings to put in the soup when my children were small, they loved dumplings but made fuss to eat chicken in the soup. So this worked so well……..

Sometimes in life you have to try a little bit of everything, we tell it to our kids all the time, our patients, our grand children and even our parents. Food for me is the art of Love. I am a chef and I love what I do even if it means trying what I dont like, and working on perfecting that recipe. Recently I ground up that thing that you all do not like mixed peel, and no one could tell if I put it in, including those who did not like it. Sometimes there are ways to work around things if we just take a moment to try it out.

Hi Nathan – can’t recall what Bajan sweetbread may have tasted like, but will definitely have to look for it and try it.
