• Line the bottom of the large can with about 1 or 2 inchs of pebbles, small rocks or sand to keep the bread from burning on the bottom. Set the small can inside the large one, making sure the sides don't touch, and then insert the large can into the coals, burying about two or three inches of the bottom. Cover the entire top with foil and poke a few holes to allow air. Check by lifting foil in about 40 to 50 minutes. Bread is done when brown on top.

Add cooled raisin mixture. Stir together. Add flour, mixing gently, then stir in nuts. Bake in 3 greased and floured coffee cans (1 lb preferred, but can't find anymore so use 12 oz. coffee cans, or use two regular loaf pans, or 3 smaller sized). Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 50-70 min, till toothpick comes out clean. Cool in cans 15 min. Remove, cool completely. Drop loaves back into coffee cans, seal with plastic lids. Keeps this way for days and improves with age. Yield: 3 loaves. Slices can be as thin or thick as needed or can be cut in half for more servings.
