Boston brown bread in a can
Does anyone remember Boston Brown Bread in a can?
B&M Brown Bread with Raisins: Burnham and Morrill made New England’s Finest Brown Bread with Raisins............sometimes called “Boston Brown Bread” in a can. Yes, it still comes in a can. Good for “preppers”.............or just to have in the pantry during the winter months when the power might go out............ still manufactured in Portland, Maine. You don’t have to be a doomsday prepper to enjoy it with your Boston Baked Beans........ Ingredients Water, Whole Wheat Flour, Molasses, Dextrose, Rye Flour, Raisins, Whey, Degerminated Yellow Corn Meal, Baking Soda, Buttermilk, Salt, Corn Oil. 99 % FAT FREE No cholesterol Ready to serve right out of the can........with cream cheese or whatever..........or even plain, it’s still very good. Very moist with the raisins in it. Has calcium and iron....... |

About a month ago, a young 40 year old friend of ours (our son's old schoolmate) was telling me how she literally brought tears to her dad's eyes when he walked in the door of their home in New Hampshire.........she had spent all day slowly simmering "home made" Boston Baked Beans in a large Dutch oven and served it with the Boston Brown Bread with raisins, from a can..........and you'd think she gave him a million dollars. It was his own mother's recipe that she had made every Sunday after church. They were French Canadians and I guess it's what their family did........it's what her grandmother did, without a doubt, and it brought tears to the son of that lady, now deceased. When we first came to Vermont in 1970 I learned all about the tradition of making the baked beans on Saturdays....and that was predominately their supper.........no hot dogs, etc. JUST BEANS. Made from scratch. Back in New Jersey, after my "boyfriend" at the time, told me he loved baked beans, I got a recipe and again, made it from scratch in a Dutch oven........well I made enough for an entire ARMY. I had no idea how much I would end up with.........after soaking the dry beans overnight, etc. I had never ever cooked before. They were tasty, for sure. But not enough people to devour them. I later found out his mom just used the canned beans...........ha ha. So much easier. But, homemade always tastes better. Now I give him Bushes baked beans from a can. |

The young friend's dad is actually a neighbor of ours......and he'd rather have his mom's homestyle cooking than a lobster dinner. It truly brought tears to his eyes that his daughter would follow the grandma's recipe for his visit. So often we wrack our brains to think of something "different" to prepare for guests.......when in reality, they'd much prefer simple home cooking, from their childhoods. Another neighbor of mine, whose daughter was married to an Air Force General, would tell me that when they'd come to visit, his request was for her simple spaghetti and meatballs for supper..........ditto for his son who was also an Air Force pilot.......like the dad. Sometimes all this "yuppie food" gets old . Everyone has a "Gram's Recipe". Thanks for sharing........... |

I think you can buy it on Vermontcountrystore.com
Me too, we loved it with cream cheese on it on a Sunday evening as a light snack after having our big afternoon dinner.

Very cute. Fact is that when one makes it from scratch you end up with too much**.....and I'm not into canning. **for two people. Nice when you have a family to feed. Last edited by senior citizen; 03-18-2013 at 09:43 AM. |
