This is the perfect breakfast bread for any brunch or tea time. It's super easy to make, you just throw the ingredients together, then watch it bake. It's sweet and tart and the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of tea or coffee.
I used seedless raspberry jam for this recipe, but I think it would be just as good with seeded jam if that's your preference. It you want to change things up a little bit, you can use blackberry jam too, or any other kind that blends well with citrus flavors.
