Date Nut Bread

2/3 cup orange juice

1 cup of chopped dates

3-1/2 cups flour

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

3 cups of sugar

1 tsp. salt

4 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup walnuts

Place the chopped dates and orange juice in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 2 minutes and let stand.  Sift dry ingredients.  Make a well and add eggs, oil, walnuts, and the date mixture.  Sir well and pour into 2 greased and floured 5" x 9" loaf pans.  Bake for 60 minutes in 350 degree oven, or until toothpick comes out clean.

Cleaning tip: Add a 1/2 cup of baking soda to your wash load to balance the pH of the water, which helps your detergent work harder.
