Slow Cooker Boston Brown Bread
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup seedless raisins
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 (160 ml) 2% reduced-fat milk
- 1/4 cup light molasses
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Method
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, except milk, molasses, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Step 2
In another mixing bowl, combine milk, lemon juice, and molasses. Mix well.
Step 3
Add milk mixture to cornmeal mixture, mixing well. Spoon mixture into 2 greased and floured 16-oz (480 ml) cans. Cover tops of cans with greased aluminum foil. Secure with rubber bands.
Step 4
Arrange cans, standing, in a slow cooker. Pour in enough boiling water to come halfway upsides of cans (make sure foil does not touch the water).
Step 5
Cover slow cooker and cook on high heat setting for 2 hours. Reduce heat to low and cook until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (for a further 4 hours).
Step 6
Turn off the slow cooker. Carefully uncover cans and allow standing on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Loosen sides of bread by removing bottoms of cans and pushing bread through.
