1 ts Ground cinnamon

1 ts Allspice

1 ds Salt

1 c Milk

1/4 c Plus 1 tablespoon honey

1/4 c Molasses

1/2 c Raisins

1 tb Orange marmalade

Put all ingredients in order listed; select Sweet Bread>> and push start. SPECIAL NOTE: This is not a yeast bread and does not rise very high. The center of this may remain doughy but rest is good. You can also reduce to 1 1/2 flour, 3T honey,3T molasses, 6 T raisins, 2 T marmalade, 3/4 cup milk. Spices remain same. It makes a smaller loaf but will be fully cooked.
