How to Make

  • Step 1: Combine the raisins, water, and baking soda and boil 3 minutes.

  • Step 2: Let cool, and then add the sugar, egg, butter, salt, vanilla, and flour and mix well.

  • Step 3: Bake in 4 #303 cans, greased well. Fill the cans about half full. Bake at 350' for 45-50 minutes.

  • Step 4: Let stand a few minutes, and the loaves will shrink and easily come out of the cans.

Tips & Variations

Don't forget the following tips and variations.
  • You need 4 #303 cans. Cans of this size aren't easy to find. The person who gave me this recipe also supplied me with the cans, which I still have. They are coffee cans but I do not know if they can be found any more. A #303 can holds 2 cups or 16-17 ounces. I have successfully cut this recipe in half--using only 2 #303 cans.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
