We love Boston Brown Bread in our family. I always bought the kind in the large can, but since finding this recipe on line I can now make it fresh! It is wonderful, moist bread. We like it with light whipped cream cheese or just butter. If you have never had this kind of bread before, I think you will like the light sweetness of it. This is great with baked beans and franks. It is dark and dense and leftovers make wonderful toast. Try it, you might like it.!
