This recipe came from my Grandma Frostads, who raised 12 children on a farm during the lean Depression days. It's handy during calving season when my husband and I and our three children live in a trailer with limited space for supplies. Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 cup water |
1 cup raisins |
1/3 cup shortening |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan, combine first seven ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool to room temperature.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add the raisin mixture. Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan.
3. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve with Hard Sauce (also found in Recipe Finder) if desired. Yield: 8-10 servings.
