Beer can date bread

8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 Empty beer cans
2 tablespoons Soda
1 cup Dates
2 cups Beer
3 tablespoons Butter
1 cup Maple syrup
1 tablespoon Vanilla
2 Eggs
4 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup Pecans

Directions

Remove tops from beer cans with can opener; lightly oil insides.

Sprinkle soda on dates. Heat beer to boiling and pour over date/soda mixture; set aside to cool. Cream together butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and eggs. Stir in flour. Add nuts and cooled date mixture.

Spoon batter into cans, filling only ½ full. Bake with cans standing up on cookie sheet, at 350 degrees for 15-30 minutes; look for tops to split and test for doneness. Do not cut bread for 1 day; bread may break up, if it is sliced while still warm.
