My dear beloved Granny Clara made this bread every year for Christmas until she passed away. She would make each of us a loaf, and we would not share :)I still make it every Christmas and cherish the memories dearly.
Passed down from Great Great Grandma Harriet Jane Bettis to Great Grandma Clara Reasner Lyles to Grandma Clara Olive Dasher Owens-Crain to Grand daughter Pattie Owens-Berriman.
