Mary Ann's Canned Brown (Raisin) Bread

"This delicious recipe was shared with me by a dear friend of my parents, Mary Ann. This has been a staple "gift bread" for her that is well known among her friends as a delicious treat she frequently shares. It is a moist, rich, muffin-textured bread that has a lovely unusual flavor. Great as a sweet breakfast bread or at tea-time."

directions

  • Mix hot coffee, butter, and baking soda in bowl (the coffee should be hot enough to melt the butter).
  • Once the butter has melted, stir the raisins into the mixture.
  • Cover and let soak overnight.
  • The next morning, preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • Cream eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla in a mixer.
  • Blend in the liquid from the raisin bowl (but not the raisins yet - they'll get crushed in the mixer if you add them now).
  • Mix in the flour 1 cup at a time scraping the sides as necessary.
  • Finally, stir in the raisins.
  • Spray cooking spray into 6 empty and cleaned 12 oz vegetable cans (green bean cans work well) - don't forget to take the label off too!
  • Fill cans 2/3 full and set them on a cookie sheet in the oven.
  • Cook for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  • Enjoy!

Didn't learn to cook until I was 29 - now I love it! I dye scarves for a hobby! Well, it's more of a call than a hobby, but you get the idea :) You can see them online at www.dyed4you.com
