I got this recipe from my mother-in-law - she said it's very old, she thought she got it from a magazine in 1965. She said she'd probably add more dates and pecans the next time she made it, but I think I'll add more chocolate chips!

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your bread will taste. Look for fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables, and use high-quality flour, sugar, and butter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help the bread rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Don't overbake the bread: Overbaking the bread will make it dry and crumbly. Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
