Common fruits used include raisins, currants, and citrus peels, which add natural sweetness and flavor. This bread can be enjoyed on its own or served with butter, cheese, or spreads. Typically, fruit bread is slightly sweet and often spiced with ingredients like cinnamon or nutmeg. It is popular in many cultures, with variations such as Panettone in Italy and Stollen in Germany. Fruit bread is often enjoyed during festive seasons or as a delightful snack throughout the year.
