4 ounces brown sugar, light |

Sift the flour

then add the brown sugar, chopped peel and raisins. Mix. Make a
well in the center. Melt the butter with the syrup over low heat,
then pour into the well in the mixture. Add the beaten egg and
milk and mix very well. Pour into a greased 2-lb loaf pan and
bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 40-50 minutes, or until it
tests done. This bread will keep moist for several days, and
actually improves somewhat during this period. Makes 8 servings.
