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.
