DATE NUT BREAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 3 inch loaf pan.
- Put the dates, walnuts, baking soda, salt and shortening in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over and stir. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes.
- Using a fork, beat the eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Add the flours and stir; the batter will be too stiff to mix well. Add the date mixture and mix briskly until the batter is well blended. Spoon into the loaf pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes. Check the loaf often; it is done when a few moist crumbs cling to a straw inserted in the middle of the loaf. The bread will continue to bake after it is removed from the oven. Do not overbake, or the loaf will be dry.
- When the loaf is done, slide a knife around the edges of the pan and turn the loaf onto a rack to cool completely. This bread freezes well.
MOIST DATE NUT BREAD
A moist not too sweet version of a figgy pudding but made with dates and minus the spices. You could try covering with buttered foil and steaming it for a even moister version. This can also be baked in a (28 ounce) can.

DATE NUT BREAD
This is a dark, moist date nut bread like Thomas's or Dromedary --with the deep flavor or molasses! Healthy too--low fat and increased fiber. Don't use the packaged chopped dates as they contain added sugar. You can also make the loaf with white flour only. Enjoy!

CANNED ORANGE DATE NUT BREAD
My mother loved this bread a sliver at a time with tea in the evenings. You could make one big cake in a one-pound coffee can but I like making three because then you have one to serve, one to freeze and one to give as a gift. You could also use your favorite quick bread recipe and bake it this way or even in a Ball jar. I know a woman from Canton, Ohio, Elizabeth Kisch, who won first place in a cake contest I judged, and she made her family's holiday chocolate toffee cake. One year her husband had to be out of town during the holidays, so she baked the cake in Ball jars, threw the lids on while it was still warm to sterilize them and then tucked them into her husband's suitcase - a surprise when he got to the other end.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, soft dates: Softer dates are easier to blend and will result in a smoother batter.
- Soak the dates in hot water: Soaking the dates in hot water helps to soften them and make them easier to blend.
- Use a food processor or blender to chop the dates: This will ensure that the dates are finely chopped and evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread.
- Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan will help to create a evenly shaped loaf of bread.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
