Here is a sweet bread recipe from “The Cupboard Drawer”, I do not know the story behind the Bishops title but it is heavenly with a nice cuppa Tea whether it be a green or black tea. I was routinely accused of being a ‘heathen’ for drinking my teas with out milk or sugar, by my late wife Zena (an Englishwoman of the highest order). But when I took the time to make the Bishop’s Bread, my sins were smoothed over a bit. So Do Enjoy…
2 Cup All Purpose Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
1 Cup Nuts, Chopped (I prefer Walnuts)
1 Cup Dates, Chopped (for an aphrodisiac effect get the darkest dates you can find)
1 Cup Maraschino Cherries (Sliced)
1 Cup Chocolate Chips, (again for darker dates use darker chips)
4 Large Eggs, beaten
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
Preheat Oven to 325 Degrees
- Prepare a buttered and floured 9 X 5 X 3 inch Loaf Pan; set aside.
- In a large Mixing Bowl mix the Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt., Then add Nuts, Dates, Cherries, and Chocolate Chips; mix lightly
- In a small bowl, beat Eggs and Sugar Together; Stir into the flour mix
- Turn mixture in to the prepared loaf pan; and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 15 mins
- Let Cool, Wrap well in tin foil for storage
Yield 1 loaf
Note: This bread travels well through he mail, so if you have a huny deployed in Afghanistan or Iraq, use the lightest dates, and maybe butterscotch chips, and send them some, you can find the disposable aluminum foil loaf pans with a lid at your nearest grocer. Then make the dark one when they come home, and have some fun…as always DO Enjoy!!!

SimeyC- Thanks for Stopping By! Ah there's the rub since I'm a Yank that came over and stole away in the night with the best woman your country has ever produced! Though my in laws count me more as a 'mate' and not a 'bloke'. I must admit the barriers of a common language are at times significant, I do count Norwich as the only place outside the US I feel really at home. I get the Heathen treatment there as well...though I will not relent. (or should it be repent?)
Obviously you never counted calories! Yum!
Jiberish; Moderation and working them off with your huny helps too! Do Enjoy!
Dear Hmrjmr,
What a delicious sounding recipe. Your late wife sounds equally wonderful. Thanks for sharing.... "The Lad"
Years ago, i used to go to a Christmas madrigal dinner that the college would put on and they always served bishop's bread with the fruit and cheese course. have always wanted a recipe but the college had no way to break their's down. thanks for sharing. I guess I'ld be considered a "heathen" too if ever got over to the UK, i drink my tea plain or with a little honey added. thanks for sharing.
This is a must try. I will let you know how it turns out. I am sure I will like it. I like my tea without cream or sugar too.:)
BPOP - Well Kiddo That she was! Though I fear a soon to be delivered lightning Bolt for Spreading my 'Heathen Ways"!
LMY - Glad to be of service, Shhhhh on the tea!
Queenbe - Looking forward to your review! Mum on the tea though...
Thanks to all for stopping by!
Dear Hmrjmr,
Never fear, no lightening bolts for you!
Ah the English and their funny little ways! I have always drunk my tea without milk and sugar too, and I survived the tea lady's baleful glares for a year!
Nemingha - Yes they do have a way of putting out "The Look" Do enjoy the bread!
Sounds like it'd go good with a glass of Guinness!!
Carolina Muscle - I believe it would!! Thanks For stopping By and Do Enjoy...
Gotta try this recipe! (And, I prefer my tea straight, too, thank you!) It must be this side of the pond, we just ain't learned how to drink tea! LOL
ivori- Could be the revolutionary spirit in our heritage. I like to think so..Thanks and Do Enjoy!

It does sound good - and easy to make! And as an Englishman - tea without milk -it's like Laurel without Hardy!!!
