Directions Grandma's Date-Nut Bread
Directions
-
Put raisins in a bowl. Pour boiling water over raisins, soak until raisins have flavored the water, about 20 minutes. Drain raisins, reserving the water. Discard raisins.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with butter.
Bring reserved water to a boil in a small saucepan. Measure 3/4 cup boiling water into a bowl. Stir baking soda into water.
Put dates and prunes in a large bowl. Pour baking soda-water over dates and prunes, add unsalted butter and stir until melted. Stir sugar and vanilla extract into the fruit mixture, let cool to room temperature.
Stir egg into the fruit mixture to evenly coat. Mix flour and salt together in a small bowl, add to fruit mixture and stir. Fold walnuts into the mixture and pour into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
