Kitchen Notes
Top with powdered sugar or raspberry pie filling.
I used to have a starter but no more. I have wonderful memories of sharing. I never knew there were so many variations. I live in Florida and Wisconsin.
Hi Sharon!
Did you find the starter under “what is amish friendship bread” tab at the top of the page? Start a new one!
*Happy Baking*
I have two questions. Is it a small box of jello or a large box? And could you use sugar free jello in this recipe? Thank you for sharing these recipes with all of us. The ones I’ve made so far , are all wonderful!
Hi Judy! You can use 1 or 2 small boxes, or 1 large box. The pudding intensifies the flavor and adds moisture. And yes, a sugar-free pudding should work great!
Thank you. Happy baking…..
This was so delicious & worth every penny of the cost of macadamia nuts and raspberry pie filling. My son and daughter in law really liked it. One question, how to keep the chopped macadamia nuts from sinking to the bottom during baking? Any hints?
Hi Jeanmarie
So happy to hear you liked this bread. You can toss your chips and nuts in flour before mixing into your batter. That will help them not sink as much!
Enjoy and thanks for joining us in the Kitchen!
