Grandmother Basquins' Boston Brown Bread

Another of Caro Basquin's traditional New England recipes.

1 cup yellow corn meal
1 cup rye meal or flour
1 cup graham flour/whole wheat
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda ( bi carb)

Mix above together thoroughly

1 cup molasses to which one pint hot water has been added. Pour into meal and stir till smooth batter. Put in a greased tin ( a 3 lb. Crisco can is good.)

Cover the tin tightly and steam three hours-adding water as needed.
