Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Seedless raisins
1/2 cup Brandy
1/2 cup Sugar
2 cups Brown sugar -- firmly packed
2 cups Persimmon pulp
1 cup Vegetable oil
4 Eggs
4 cups All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 cup Walnuts -- chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour two 9x5-inch or
three 8x4-inch loaf pans. Put the raisins in the brandy and set aside.
Combine the sugars, presimmon pulp and oil. Add eggs, one at a time;
beat well after each addition. Sift together the dry ingredients into a
medium bowl. Add to the egg mixture and stir in the brandied raisins
and the nuts.
Pour into greased pans. Bake for 1 hour, a bit longer for the 9-inch
pans. Be sure to test with a cake tester to make sure the bread is
done; you may have to adjust cooking time. Makes about 16 slices.
