  • 1 egg, well-beaten
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Put raisins in a bowl. Pour boiling water over raisins; soak until raisins have flavored water, about 20 minutes. Drain raisins, reserving water. Discard raisins.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with butter.
  • Bring reserved water to a boil in a small saucepan. Measure 3/4 cup boiling water into a bowl. Stir baking soda into water.
  • Put dates and prunes in a large bowl. Pour baking soda-water over dates and prunes; add unsalted butter and stir until melted. Stir sugar and vanilla extract into fruit mixture; let cool to room temperature.
  • Stir egg into fruit mixture to evenly coat. Mix flour and salt together in a small bowl; add to fruit mixture and stir. Fold walnuts into mixture and pour into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
