I received this recipe almost 50 years ago when I was on my first job. The carrots are precooked with the spices, making it very moist and delicious. Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups water |
1 1/3 cups white sugar |
1 cup raisins |
2 large carrots, grated |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 teaspoons butter |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
1 pinch salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan, and line with wax paper.
2. Combine water, sugar, raisins, grated carrots, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Cool.
3. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, nuts, and salt. Stir in carrot mixture. Pour into prepared pan.
4. Bake for 1 1/4 hours, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.
