I've wanted to try this recipe for so long, and I finally did it this year! Barmbrack is an Irish tradition for Samhain that's halfway between a Christmas fruitcake and a rich loaf of bread, flavored with raisins, sultanas, citrus zest, and classic Autumn spices, and served with a chance at fortune. See below for the recipe I used in this video.

Hey, friends! This year, I'm trying my hand at some recipes for each of the sabbats as another way to celebrate, starting with this wonderful eggnog for Yule.

I've linked his video below for those interested, and if you enjoyed mine, consider sending it to him or someone you know who loves eggnog!
