Since I typed this recipe up in another thread, I thought I might as well put it here too.

It's a really easy recipe and it's not real sweet. Everybody always asked me for the recipe when I made it, so I think it is pretty good.

Boston Brown Bread

1-1/2 cup water
1-1/2 cups raisins
1 Tbsp. shortening
1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 tsp. baking soda
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Boil raisins and water for 3 min. Let cool. Cream shortening and sugar. Add egg, molasses and vanilla. Then add dry ingredients. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Use 3 - 17 oz cans or
4 - 15 oz. cans or loaf pans (I think I meant the small tin loaf pans)

Happy Baking!
