Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ¾ cups water
1 (15 ounce) package raisins
4 teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ cups butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of currants, but I'm so glad I did. The currants and mixed peel are the perfect addition to this loaf.
