Breads - Muffins, Quick Breads
DATE NUT BREAD

"I'm in the process of baking my Holiday breads and thought I would share with others. I searched long and hard for a Date Nut Bread that was dark and rich. Got this one from a friend of a friend's great aunt 20 years ago and have been making it ever since."

1/2 lb chopped dates
1 cup strong hot coffee
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch salt
3/4 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Mix, dates, coffee, butter and baking soda in blender or mixer. Slightly beat eggs and add to mixture. Add flour, sugar, vanilla and salt; mix. Stir in nuts. Place in prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Remove from oven. Let sit in pan for 10 minutes before removing. Enjoy.

This bread will keep for several weeks wrapped and refrigerated.

The recipe makes 1 large loaf or 2-3 small ones. I usually double the recipe and get 7 small ones.
