Plum Bread

Plum Bread is a  traditional  Lincolnshire  recipe. It can be cake like or bread like, but most importantly it's full of lovely plump raisins and sultans. Enjoy it sliced and spread with butter, even better add a good piece of cheese. Try it lightly toasted, it's divine, or make a luxury bread and butter pudding. It keeps really, really well, in fact it is better for keeping as the flavours have chance to develop. Give it a try.
