Ingredients

1 box (2 cups) dark raisins
1/2 cup whiskey
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
5 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk or sour milk
1/4 teaspoon baking soda.

Directions

1) Mix together 1 box (2 cups) dark raisins and 1/2 cup whiskey. Bring to boil in pan. Remove from heat and set aside.

2) Cream together 1 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar and add 4 eggs and beat well.

3) Combine together 5 1/2 cups flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.

4) Combine together 1 1/2 cups buttermilk or sour milk and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Add steps 2, 3, and 4 together mixing and beating well. Alternating dry and wet ingredients, then add raisin mixture, beating well.

Bake in 2 ungreased and unfloured loaf pans at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Try to remove immediately from pans.

Knock on top of loaf - if hollow sounding it is done. This is even better tasting on the second day.
