Directions:
Wash out two old coffee cans or baked beans cans (either works fine). No need to grease or coat them in any way.
Fill a large pot with enough water to cover about half the height of the cans. Cover and bring to a low boil.
In a small sauce pan, add raisins and water; bring to boil then remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and allow to cool.
In a large bowl, add flours, cornmeal and salt and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, add buttermilk, molasses, raisins and water and mix well. Add to dry ingredients and stir gently to combine.
Transfer equal amounts of batter to the cans and place a small piece of aluminum foil over each.
Place cans in steaming water and cover with lid.
Simmer on LOW up to 2 hours.
After about 1.5 hours, check with a cake tester/bamboo skewer and if it comes out clean, they're done.
Remove from water and allow to cool.
Use a can opener to remove the bottom ends of the cans and push the breads through with the lids.
