Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the dates and butter in a small bowl and pour the

boiling water over them. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir the dry ingredients together in a large

bowl. Add the date mixture, egg, cheddar and nuts. Mix until just blended and spoon the

mixture into a well greased 9 X 5-inch loaf pan. Let stand for 20 minutes. Bake for 50 to 60

minutes in the preheated oven or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the loaf

comes out clean. Turn out onto a rack and cool before slicing. NOTE: The flavor improves

is the bread stands overnight before serving.
