CinnaRon’s – The Secret Recipe
Once upon a time in a far away seaside town called Guysborough, Nova Scotia there lived a a new arrival with a problem. A new farmers market was being created and the new arrival wanted to contribute. He didn’t own a garden so it was suggested he would run the coffee stand.
I was that new arrival and to supplement my array of organic coffees, tea and hot chocolate I decided I needed something sweet to give my little stand some added panache.
My mother had a wonderful recipe for cinnamon loaf. I have no idea of its origins but it has been a family favourite for years. It is also my go to recipe for holiday entertaining. It’s simple, tasty and very popular.
I dubbed my sweet – CinnaRon’s – a play on the name of the food chain. It proved very popular in my new seaside town.
In honour of the holiday I thought I would share CinnaRon’s secret recipe with you all.
Happy holidays to you all and to my wonderful friends in Guysbough a special hello!
