This rich and flavorful bread is a favorite old-time recipe. Because it keeps well and goes great with coffee or tea, I like to have an extra loaf on hand for gifts or for friends who come to call over the holidays.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover currants. It's also a nice change from the usual chocolate chip or banana bread.
