Ingredients

1 cup raisins
1 cup golden raisins
4 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups boiling water
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup vegetable oil

Place the dark and golden raisins in a medium bowl. Dissolve baking soda in boiling water, and pour over raisins. Let stand overnight without stirring.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease three 1 pound sized coffee cans.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Stir in the raisins with their water, and the oil until well blended. Batter will be thick. Divide the batter evenly between the 3 cans.
Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the crown comes out clean. Lay cans on their side to loosen the bread as it cools.

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

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.
