hi foodtube
cariann here as you can probably guess
I’m celebrating Halloween I’m here in
Derry Londonderry Northern Ireland which
is one of the most undiscovered foodie
destinations in the whole of Europe now
I don’t know if you know but Halloween
actually originated on the island of
Island so what better place to make
barmbrack barmbrack is a traditional
Irish fruit loaf which is usually eaten
at Halloween but it’s so delicious you
could make it all year round this recipe
will serve 10 people easily let’s get
started here I have 350 grams of mixed
fruit so in here I’ve got raisins
sultanas some mixed peel I’ve got here
400 milliliters of boiling water and to
that I’m going to add four teabags then
I’m going to add two tablespoons of
vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of
Irish whiskey but if you’re making this
recipe for children by all means you can
leave the whiskey out and give that a
nice mix we’re going to pour that over
the fruit leave that to soak for as long
as possible overnight would be great so
this is what they look like after
they’ve been soaking overnight they’re
all plump and juicy now onto the dough
here I have 340 grams of strong bread
flour and to that I am going to add 3
tablespoons of ground mixed spice and
half a teaspoon of ground sea salt and
one sachet or seven grams of fast-acting
dried yeast finally I’m going to add 75
grams of caster sugar these dry
ingredients are now going to go into
this kitchen mixer by all means if you
don’t have a machine at home you can do
this by hand it’s no problem I’m going
to get the jug that we made our tea in
and to that I’m going to add 225 Mills
whole milk
– free-range eggs and 35 grams of melted
unsalted butter we’re going to give that
a little bit of a beat up just to break
up the eggs a little bit we’re going to
add this to our dry ingredients in the
mixer I’m going to start the Machine off
really really slowly otherwise the flour
will go everywhere trust me it’s a
mistake I’ve made once once you’ve done
it you’ll never do it again right so
that’s been mixing for about five or six
minutes now I’ve had little tidy up got
rid of all my dirty dishes now don’t be
worried it’s supposed to look like that
it is a wet dough it’s very sticky but
it will taste awesome so here we’ve got
the fruits that we soaked overnight we
don’t want any of that excess tea or
whiskey or vanilla we don’t want to make
our dough any wetter so what I’m going
to do is I’m just going to take handfuls
squeeze it out and add it in so I’m
going to leave that for about five
minutes just so everything gets well
mixed and we’ll incorporated right so it
is ready very tacky very spicy very
fruity now here I have a loaf tin which
I’ve just lined with some greaseproof
paper and I’m going to pour in a lovely
mixture island is full of traditions and
a lovely tradition with this recipe is
to add lots of little goodies which all
symbolise different things I am going to
add a brass ring which I’ve sterilized
in boiling water and I’m also just for
extra precaution going to wrap it in a
little bit of greaseproof paper and then
I’m going to stuff it secretly into my
loaf so it’s in there somewhere
no one knows where I’m going to leave
this now to prove or to rise for about
an hour just to let these do its work
let some little air bubbles form but I
have got one eye done about an hour ago
to show you so come and have a look at
these guys see all those little air
bubbles popping up so it’s going to be
lovely and light when it comes out of
the oven so this goes into a preheated
oven gas mark five hundred and eighty
degrees for about 40 to 45 minutes until
it’s a really nice dark golden brown on
top and you put a skewer in and the
skewer comes out clean so I’ll see you
when this is ready okay guys so our
barmbrack is ready I’ve taken it out of
the tin I’ve taken the greaseproof off
and I can’t wait to cut in that looks
awesome
you can see it’s beautifully moist it’s
all spongy and you’ve got those juicy
fruits as you can see this is breaking
up quite a bit and that’s because I’ve
cut it while it’s hot from the oven I
haven’t let it cool down because I like
it when the butter melts I found the
moon apparently the ring is supposed to
bring luck wealth and marriage so I’m
going to keep that piece for myself I’m
going to butter this I’m going to cut it
into small pieces I’m going to take it
outside and see what the people of
derry/londonderry really think hi guys
I’ve made a traditional Irish barmbrack
and being an English girl in Northern
Ireland I wondered if you’d like to try
it for me and tell me if I’ve done a
good job or not it is a good
representation for an English girl it

Halloween then do you do it all the time
