Miss Birdie Easter Bun

Easter is approaching and the first thing that comes to mind is Miss Birdie Easter Bun, the seasonal favorite by far. Moist, fruity, spiced to perfection,  waiting to be devoured with your favorite cheese or butter by the entire family. A Jamaican tradition which has spread throughout the English-speaking Caribbean and anywhere in the world a Jamaican immigrant population exists, North America, Canada, the  United Kingdom & beyond.
The bun is an off shoot of the Hot Cross Bun from Jamaica’s  British colonial period. Like many Jamaican food items,  some ingredients were changed or added to make something similar and accessible  to the local population  and adapted to their tastes.
The among the main ingredients are: Flour, Brown Sugar, Preserved Fruits, Raisins, Vegetable Shortening, Yeast, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Vanilla Flavoring. The rest is a secret.
Carib is the sole distributor of Miss Birdie Easter Bun and Whole Wheat Crackers in Florida. Products are available at many of their customers throughout the state and other areas.
