Dates (about 24 large) |
| 2 cups |
Hot Water |
| 2 |
Eggs (Beaten) |
| 1 cup |
Brown (or White) Sugar |
| 3 cups |
All-Purpose Flour |
| 2 tsp |
Baking Soda |
| 2 tsp |
Baking Powder |
| 1 cup |
Chopped Walnuts or Toasted Pecans |
| 1 tsp |

Cooking Directions: |
| 1. |
Place 2 cups of water in microwave for 5 minutes. Fill a one pound container with the cut or chopped dates (or part with dried apricots). Pour the hot water over the dates/apricots and wait until almost cold.
|
| 2. |
In a large mixing bowl at least 11 inches in diameter, place brown sugar (or white sugar) and chopped walnuts. Add the beaten eggs. Stir everything with a fork. Pour in the date and water mixture and stir well.
|
| 3. |
In a separate bowl, place the flour, a pinch of salt, baking soda and baking powder. Stir with a fork. Dump the flour, salt, baking powder on top of the wet mixture and stir until all flour is incorporated.
|
| 4. |
Pour mixture into two sprayed loaf pans and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Test with a toothpick. Let the breads cool in the pan. Remove from pans. I usually freeze them for about an hour and then I cut them into one inch slices and freeze.

Excellent toasted and spread with cream cheese.
