Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 cups raisins
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 1 and 1 half cups sugar
• Dash of salt
• 1 and 1 half teaspoons vanilla
• 1 cup chopped nuts [pecans or walnuts]
• Loaf pan [greased and floured]

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a loaf pan by greasing and flouring it and then set it aside until you are ready to fill it with the batter.

2. Combine 2 cups of raisins, 2 cups of water and 2 teaspoons baking soda in a sauce pan and bring mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.

3. In a bowl, mix 2 beaten eggs, 1 and 1 half cups sugar, dash of salt and 1 and 1 half teaspoons vanilla.

4. Add the raisin mixture alternately with the flour to the egg mixture. Now fold in the nuts.

5. Place entire mixture in a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Check the bread at about the one hour cooking time. Bread is done when you place a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
