Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup boiling water 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup honey 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 pinch salt 3 tablespoons rum 2 teaspoons cinnamon 4 cups sifted flour 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange rind (optional)
Directions: Stir together the boiling water, sugar, honey, baking soda and salt until the sugar dissolves. Mix in, thoroughly, the rum and cinnamon. Stir the flour in slowly to make a smooth batter. Add the grated orange rind, if desired.
Pour the batter into a well buttered loaf pan (9 x 5 x 3 inches). For the first 10 minutes, bake in a very hot oven, 450 degrees F, then reduce the temperature to moderate, 350 degrees F, for one hour longer, or until it tests done.
Turn the bread out on a wire rack to cool. Slice bread thinly and spread with butter. It is even more delicious the second day.
May be baked in two smaller pans (7-1/2 x 3-1/2 x 2-1/4 inches). In this case, reduce the total cooking time by 15 minutes, or until they test done.
