This is a very nice sweet bread with lots of raisins. I have never made bread that required boiling the fruit with the baking soda and wondered about it. It worked beautifully though. I did leave out the nuts as DH isn't a big nut eater. The crust came out chewier than I would have expected but that could have been something I did or due to my pan. All in all, a keeper. Made for Fall PAC 2009.
