2 c. raisins
2 c. boiling water
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil
2 tsp. baking soda

Nuts, optional

Put raisins in 2 cups boiling water. Add soda. Stir and let set overnight.

Next day add sugar, oil and flour. Fill 3 coffee cans (1 pound) half full and bake 1 hour and 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Quick and easy, and oh, so good!
