This sounds like a good recipe to add to my Christmas Baking list. Thanks for posting it and thanks Katie for putting it into format. I've changed the directions slightly as follows:
Put raisins in boiling water, set aside to cool. Beat oil, eggs, sugar and P/B until mushy. Drain raisins from water setting water aside. Add flour. cinnamon, baking power and salt. Add vanilla. If desired add nuts. If mixture is too stiff add a little water from the raisins, mix well. Pour mixture into 3 greased loaf pans and place in a preheated 325 degree oven and bake for 50 or 60 minutes.

As an added touch after bread has cooled, drizzle on a powdered sugar glaze. (my secret for that is: Use all ready made vanilla frosting, use 1/4 cup of frosting with a few drops of water mixed in. Mirowave for for about 45 seconds. Dirzzle onto cooled bread. Makes a delicious breakfast slice for any veggie or fruit bread.
