I have this recipe torn out from a 1973 magazine ad by my mom. It calls for Date OR Nut bread mix and suggests also Cranberry Nut (at that time Cherry Nut and Apricot Nut were among the seven kinds of mixes available). If you can't find date, I bet any nut bread would be okay or anything similar. For the person who wanted times for loaf pans, 8x4" 70-80 min., 9x5" 60-70 min.

If you go to this email address: www.pillsburybaking.com/BreadMix you can search for stores in your area that sell the date bread mix.

This is my mom's recipe too. I just purchased 4 boxes of Pillsbury Date Bread mix at a Sentry Store in Waukesha, Wi. Here's the address 2304 W Saint Paul Ave, Waukesha, WI 53188

can you mix date bread and cranberry bread to make fruit cake because date bread is hard to find
