By: Laura Andrew

"Moist and golden, these loaves are a 'plum' part of the holiday baskets our family makes up for country friends and neighbors. I discovered the recipe in a historical cookbook-- it truly is full of old-fashioned goodness."

Original Recipe Yield 20 servings

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 eggs
2 (4 ounce) jars plum baby food
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
TOPPING:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Stir in eggs, baby food, oil and nuts just until moistened. Spoon into four greased 5-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Bake at 325 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. In a saucepan, combine topping ingredients; bring to a boil. Boil and stir for 3 minutes. Poke holes with a fork in top of loaves. Cool in pans for 10 minutes or until topping is absorbed. Remove to wire racks to cool.
