1/2 cup dried currants

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

1 cup water

1/4 cup dry sherry

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

In a medium saucepan, combine the raisins, golden raisins, currants, brown sugar, butter and water.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until boiling.

Boil for 20 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees).

Grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
