So I’m sending along some of favorite foods my Mom used to fix in the 40’s
and 50’s. Her name is Veva.
Boil the first 10 ingredients for 10 minutes. Cool and add remaining
ingredients.
Pour into 3 bread loaf pans (greased) and set them on a cooky sheet to keep
the raisins from burning and bake about 1 hr. at 350 F. Better when kept
over a long period of time.
