A nice holiday bread to add to your collection. From my Remarkable Red Raspberry Cookbook. Makes two loaves.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Yields: 2 loaves

Ingredients

• 3  eggs
• 1  cup  oil (my preference is to sub applesauce to reduce the amount of oil)

• 2  cups frozen raspberries, thawed
• 3  cups flour
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 3  teaspoons cinnamon (or less to suit your tastes)
• 1  teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. Beat eggs until light and foamy. Add oil (or combination of oil and applesauce), sugar, raspberries and vanilla. Mix lightly, but well. Sift flour, salt, soda, cinnamon and baking powder together. Add nuts. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients - stir well. Pour into two 9x5x2 inch loaf pans. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 1 hour.
