My husband is from SW Nova Scotia, Yarmouth to be exact. We are now in SW Indiana, US, and his mother use to make what he calls Molasses bread. It reminds him of home, so if l can pull this off, he will also be revisiting his childhood with memories of warm fresh Molasses bread. Wish me luck!

I have the recipe used by my grandmother and mother. It is very similar to this except it calls for the rolled oats to be first added to boiling water. I found using the Blackstrap Molasses instead of the Fancy really kicks it up a notch. My family loves it including grand children. Usually we have baked beans, again an old family recipe. I've even written a song about making brown bread. Beans and Brown Bread are great ways to keep my South Shore Heritage alive and well. Glenn T.

I miss this bread and when I go to New Brunswick to visit, I buy it in the stores there. Not as good as home made but still good. I also miss maple sugar and dulse from the Maritimes.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311219996775009590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241920857074180307.post-40174900801017967372013-06-10T15:05:09.679-03:002013-06-10T15:05:09.679-03:00Sometimes people put rolled oats on top.

I'm another from the South Shore of Nova Scotia and at Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter, we always had my great aunt's brown bread (but of course in the tradition of rural little old ladies, she doesn't have a recipe, she just makes it!). I was amazed when I found out that brown bread in other parts of the world was something completely different.
