This is for Anita and the customer in her beauty shop requesting a recipe for Date 'n Nut Loaf. From, Lor :0)
Cross and Olive used to make a delicious canned Date 'n Nut Loaf. I remember it soooooooooo well and it was absolutely yummy! The following recipe has been taken from an old cookbook of my mothers. The date in it is 1938.
DATE 'N NUT BREAD
3/4 cup butter,
1 cup sugar
2 egg, well beaten
3 cups flour
1 cup milk
2 cups dates, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add beaten eggs and beat thoroughly. Add part of the flour, then the milk, dates and nuts. Add remainder of the flour which has been sifted with the baking powder and salt. Bake in a greased loaf pan in a moderate oven of 350 degres F. for about 40 minutes. Yield: 1 loaf
P.S. My mom would thoroughly wash out canned fruit tins and use them to bake the Fruit 'n Nut Loaf. That way she could have extra on hand and the slices were round.
"Hi Nancy and Many Readers. A customer in my beauty shop asked me if I had a recipe called Old Time Date and Nut Pudding. I do not, but I told her I would write to Nancy and ask her or any of her readers if they know of any recipe this one. Your responses would be very much appreciated
