Raisin Nut Bread In A Can - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 2/3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup nuts (I prefer pecans)
2 teaspoons baking soda

Preparation

Preheat oven at 350 degrees F.
Boil together the raisins, water, and butter.
Cool slightly.
Add the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and mix to make the dough.
Pour dough into well greased (or sprayed) tin cans (#2 1/2 or soup cans) about 1/2 full.
Bake for 50 minutes, but check after 45. Cool for 10 minutes and remove from cans.
Cool a bit longer, then wrap in foil.
Delicious when served with cream cheese or butter. Makes 4-5 #2 1/2 cans or 5-6 soup cans.
