Cheddar Date Nut Loaf

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325℉ (160℃).

Place the dates and butter in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over them.

Let stand for 5 minutes.

Stir the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Add the date mixture, egg, cheddar and nuts.

Mix until just blended and spoon the mixture into a well greased 9 X 5-inch loaf pan.

Let stand for 20 minutes.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Turn out onto a rack and cool before slicing.

NOTE: The flavor improves is the bread stands overnight before serving.
