boston brown bread
Another recipe given to me by a local lobster fisherman's wife. Since coffee no longer comes in a 1 lb can, I just use a 4 cup steamed pudding mold. Raisins are, apparently, a traditional part of this bread, but she didn't like them and neither do we.

How To Make boston brown bread
-
1Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
