Boston Brown Bread

Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped dates
• 3/4 cup raisins
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 3 tablespoons oleo
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 cup boiling water
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

• 1 Put dates, raisins, oleo, and baking soda in a large bowl.
• 2 Pour the boiling water over this mixture. Mix then let cool.
• 3 Beat 2 eggs, sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
• 4 Add the cooled mixture alternately with the flour.Stir in nuts.
• 5 Bake in 3-1# cans that have been well greased.
• 6 Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes.
• 7 Cool slightly, then run a butter knife around the inside edge of can to loosen bread. Pull out gently and wrap while still partly warm in plastic wrap. This keeps the round loaves moist.
• 8 These freeze well. When baking these, I usually double the recipe and freeze half for gifts.
• 9 This is delicious! It does not taste at all like the can stuff in the store.
