How to Make Jamaican Spice Bun Bread
- Gently warm 1 cup of beer over low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of browning sauce, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 cup jam, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1/2 cup unsalted butter.
- Stir continuously until the sugar and butter are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Allow the beer mixture to cool completely to room temperature before proceeding to the next step. This prevents the heat from cooking the eggs and activating the baking soda prematurely.
- In a separate large bowl, sift together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup mixed candied fruits (raisins, currants, cherries etc.) and 1 cup chopped mixed peel to the dry ingredients and gently mix to combine.
- Add 2 large eggs to the cooled beer mixture and whisk lightly. Then pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter into two greased 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
