Personal Notes:
Clara Bremer, Tara and Kate Mahon’s grandma, won the “Best Bread of the Fair” and the Sweepstakes prize at the Saginaw County Fair for her Cardamom Braid in 1988. Grandpa Ed Bremer was bursting with pride and rushed home from the fair to make a plaque for her ribbons. Clara created this recipe using a combination of an old Swedish recipe and a modern bread recipe. It is a family favorite!
