SWEET AND GOLDEN EASTER BREAD
It is an Italian tradition to make this sweet, golden braid at Easter. This family heirloom recipe came from my mother-in-law and was passed down to her from her mother. If you're not a fan of raisins, the bread is just as wonderful without them. -Kathi West, Canton, Michigan

EASTER RAISIN BREAD
This recipe is my adaptation from a holiday raisin bread which was submitted to my home Church "Heavenly Delights" cookbook printed in 1991. I jazzed it up with additional seasonings, cornmeal, rum and a glaze. In addition, I simmered the raisins in boiling water to plump them up. I receive many requests for this one. Enjoy!
