Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Yellow cornmeal
1 c Rye flour
1 c Whole wheat flour
2 ts Baking soda
1 t Salt
1 c Black raisins or currants
2 c Buttermilk
3/4 c Dark unsulfured molasses

Mix cornmeal and flours in a large bowl with the baking soda, salt, and
raisins. Beat together liquids in a separate bowl. Vigorously blend
liquids into dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, then pour into two
well-greased or buttered one-pound coffee cans. Butter two 6" squares of
foil and tie around the tops of the coffee cans with string. Place on a
rack in a closely covered pot, pour 2" of water into the pot, and weight
down the cover for a tight seal and steam for three hours. Do not open the
pot until at least two hours have passed. Let cool 20 minutes before
unmolding.
