I got this recipe years ago from my aunt's hometown newspaper recipe section, (she lived in Meridien, Miss.)I first used it when teaching home ec and had to have students make a faculty Thanksgiving luncheon. Have been making it ever since for Christmas gifts for friends and family--a perennial favorite!!

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c raisins
1/4 tsp salt
2 c water
2 Tbsp baking soda
1/2 c vegetable shortening
2 eggs
2 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c chopped nuts

Steps:

  • 1. Mix raisins through baking soda in a saucepan and bring to a boil, boil 1 minute, cool to room temp. In large bowl, cream together shortening, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract. Add cooled raisin mixture. Stir together. Add flour, mixing gently, then stir in nuts. Bake in 3 greased and floured coffee cans (1 lb preferred, but can't find anymore so use 12 oz. coffee cans, or use two regular loaf pans, or 3 smaller sized). Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 50-70 min, till toothpick comes out clean. Cool in cans 15 min. Remove, cool completely. Drop loaves back into coffee cans, seal with plastic lids. Keeps this way for days and improves with age. Yield: 3 loaves. Slices can be as thin or thick as needed or can be cut in half for more servings.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover coffee grounds. I always have a bag of coffee grounds in the freezer, so I'm always looking for new ways to use them.

I used a dark roast coffee in this recipe, and it gave the bread a really rich flavor.

I didn't have any coffee on hand, so I used strong brewed tea instead. It worked just fine.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I used a flax egg instead. The bread turned out just fine.

I'm gluten-free, so I used a gluten-free flour blend in this recipe. It worked great! The bread was just as delicious as the regular version.

This bread is a great make-ahead breakfast. I usually make it on the weekend and then slice it and freeze it. It's so convenient to just grab a slice and heat it up in the toaster.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I substituted dried cranberries instead. They worked really well in this bread.

I was skeptical about the coffee in this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised. It gives the bread a subtle flavor that really complements the raisins.
