   1       c            Whole wheat flour
   1       c            All purpose flour

   2       ts           Baking soda
   1       t            Salt
   2       c            Buttermilk

    Daub paper towel with butter and rub evenly around
  sides and bottom of coffee cans or mold. Set aside.

    In bowl, combine flours, cornmeal, baking soda and
  salt. Add buttermilk and molasses, blend until
  smooth. Add raisins and mix until they are scattered
  throughout mixture.

    Scrape batter into prepared cans or mold. Cover
  tightly with aluminum foil. Place mold into large pot
  and fill with hot water, until water reaches 1/2 way up
  sides of mold. With help place pot on stove and bring
  to a boil. Cover pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 3
  hours. Replenish water in pot every hour.

    When ready, turn heat off. With help, remove mold from
  pot and unmold by turning bread upside down.

    To cut bread, wrap a piece of string around bread and
  pull it tight, through loaf. It will easily cut warm
  bread into a clean slice.

  Makes 2 small loves, or one large loaf.
