I received this recipe almost 50 years ago when I was on my first job. The carrots are precooked with the spices, making it very moist and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 1 1/3 cups white sugar
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 large carrots, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 pinch salt

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan, and line with wax paper.
Step 2
Combine water, sugar, raisins, grated carrots, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Cool.
Step 3
In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, nuts, and salt. Stir in carrot mixture. Pour into prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake for 1 1/4 hours, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.
