A delightfully different (and more sophisticated) version of raisin bread--DH and I loved this!! The spices, cherry brandy, and raisins are perfect together! And I love that the bread's sweetness comes more from the raisins than the added sugar! The only changes I made were to use whole wheat pastry flour, sodium-free baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon of regular salt; and all of that worked out well. This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thanks so much for posting it Sydney Mike!!

    This is a VERY TASTY bread! I made it for breakfast this morning baking it in rose shaped muffin tins and it came out so moist and flavourful! The combination of the applesauce with the spices and the raisins is unique and very nice. I have to say the raisins really make the bread! I reduced the sugar slightly (by 17 g) and that way the muffins had a wonderful fruity sweetness from the raisins. YUM! I only made half the recipe and got 8 muffins out of it (they only needed 20 minutes to bake through). Thanks so much for sharing another gem of a recipe with us, Syd! Made and reviewed for one of my "babies" in Spring PAC 2009.

    Very good bread and perfect with a cup of tea. Not too sweet which is greatly appreciated. Easy to make and it baked in exactly 55 minutes. While baking it smelled heavenly but the spices somehow disappeared when the bread was done. Next time I make it I'll double the spices for a more intense flavor. Will also try to make it with a mix of raisins and dried cranberries. Made it just as stated with one difference. Since I did not have any cherry brandy I used elderberry jenever (we have zillions of different tastes in our jenevers here in The Netherlands..........). Certainly a bread to make many more times and to experiment with. Thanks for posting.

    5 Stars, DH really enjoyed this, just sweet enough, with an abundance of raisins. The walnuts made it for me. It went together very quickly, times were accurate. I upgraded the review after I allowed the bread to cool completely: it was a perfect blend. I would definitely make this again! Made for Zaar Tag.
