Fruit buns are a type of sweet roll made with fruit, fruit peel, spices and sometimes nuts. They are a tradition in Britain and former British colonies including Jamaica, Australia,[1] Singapore[2] and India.[3] They are made with fruit and fruit peel and are similar to Bath buns, which are sprinkled and cooked with sugar nibs.[4] One variety is a currant bun.[5]
