Notes: Jean says: "I have been making this Date Nut Bread several times a year, for over 50 years! I especially like to make it around Christmas time, for gifts, as well as for us to enjoy. My neighbor, Opal Powell, shared it with me in 1957, when we moved in across the road from her." Editor's Note: Did you know? Jean was born in Huntington, W.V. where her mother & father operated a grocery store for 9 years. They moved back to Gallia County in 1942 where Jean finished school, married her husband on Easter Sunday, 1955, and raised a family. They have spent most of their 56 years married, living off SR 588 in Gallipolis. Did you also know? The picture with this recipe was taken around the time Jean first made Date Nut Bread!
