The taste of this comes pretty darn close to the traditional Boston brown bread, which is steamed in tin cans instead of baked. Excellent served with cream cheese...and baked beans, of course!
Boston Brown Bread
1 c. raisins
1 c. boiling water
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. whole-wheat flour
1-1/2 teas. baking soda
1 teas. salt
1 c. cornmeal
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 c. buttermilk
1 c. molasses
Put raisins in a small bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let stand for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Combine the flours and next 4 ingredients; mix well.
Combine buttermilk, molasses and the drained raisins in a medium bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir just until combined. Pour into a greased 9X5 loaf pan. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour (start checking after 50 minutes.)
