1 1/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 c. raisins
1 1/2 c. grated carrots
2 tbsp. butter
1 1/3 c. cold water
Pinch salt
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda

In 4 quart saucepan combine sugar, spices, raisins, carrots, butter and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Sift flour and soda. Add nuts, salt, flour and soda to moist ingredients and stir well. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours.

Hints: 1 1/2 cups carrots is a little less than 1/2 pound. It is no extra trouble to double the recipe. Use 8 quart pot and 2 loaf pans 4 inches apart on middle shelf of oven. Eat one, freeze one!
