1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter-flavored Crisco
3/4 cup boiling water
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
Preheat the oven to 350. Butter and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2" loaf pan. Put the dates, walnuts, baking soda, salt and shortening in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over and stir. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Using a fork, beat the eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Add the flours and stir; the batter will be stiff. Add the date mixture and mix until well blended. Spoon into the loaf pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes. Do not over bake. After a few minutes slide a knife around the edges of the pan and turn onto a rack to cool completely.
