Boston Brown Bread image

This bread is traditionally served with baked beans. The recipe calls for steaming the bread in cans. It can be baked in small loaf pans if you prefer. Baking is done at 350°F for about 35-40 minutes. But do try steaming, if you can. The consistency is more authentic. Recipe is from an old cookbook of my mother's.

The bread was easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used a loaf pan instead of a bundt pan and it still came out great.
