Boston Brown Bread.

I have great memories of Boston brown bread as a kid. There was a restaurant in my hometown in Pennsylvania that always served you a slice when you ordered a salad. I’d slather it with butter or cream cheese and slowly devour the molasses and raisin-filled delight. I’ve never actively searched for a recipe to make it before, but just happened to trip across this one last week. It’s a little complicated to make (it involves steaming!) and is actually more of a traditional pudding than bread I found out. Beware that if you do decide to try the recipe that the bread itself doesn’t keep very long, so eat it up fast. Which wouldn’t be a problem in my house…
