This is my third time making this cake because it is so delicious. This time I had to add dried cranberries to the raisins as I only had 1/4 cup. Such a simple recipe but so tasty with the perfect combo of spices......they knew what they were doing in 1936! It is a tip off when both Glen and Jules both like it from first bite.

@jamesellsworth9673 5 лет назад

DROMEDARY Brand dates from California were widely available in the United States and found their way into date nut bread and date cookies. Dried dates were good keepers and shipped well, as well as provided a sweet component.

@Ordolph 5 лет назад

Yeah, I would assume dates and raisins would have been pretty popular cause it was a way pre electric refrigeration to have someting sweet, and have fruit anywhere, all year long.

@susanelainesanner Год назад

I clicked on this video after seeing the photo of a dark loaf. As I live in Minnesota, close to the border with North Dakota, I anticipated and am well satisfied with an "up home" recipe. I'd assumed the dark loaf would have a small measure of molasses in it, but strong and dark coffee and some of the spices apparently provide the color. I've always loved recipes, sweet and savory (I put very strong, black coffee in my baked beans along with molasses and would add dried, cured leaf tobacco if I could find it) that include strong coffee. It's 2023 now and North Dakota is still next door to me. Love your research and your work in the kitchen, Glenn. Thank you.

@Honkey-Donkey 4 года назад

I was surprised to hear people claim that dates weren't used here then. At least two generations of my family from that era used them. When I was little I considered them an "old people" food because of that.

@halie813 5 лет назад

I’m from ND, a few hours west of grafton and an hour from Canada and I can say that a lot of our recipes will still call for dates. From what I know dates were readily available at the time and were much less expensive as opposed to other options. I can’t believe you did a ND recipe 😆

i was flabbergasted when my american friends hadn't heard of date squares! dates are delicious.

@luminousmoon86 4 года назад

I'm a connoisseur of old cookbooks as well and I've seen tons of old American recipes that include dates, raisins, prunes, etc. In the early 20th century dried fruit was a popular addition to cakes, I think for obvious reasons. Pre-refrigeration, dried fruits would keep much more readily in a pantry or root cellar than fresh fruit.

@luadraponies 2 года назад

Before then. Dates were imported to Europe for almost ever. The Roman’s certainly took them to areas they went. The cost of getting them across the Atlantic would have made them a lot dearer and patchy supply until ships entered the steaming cargo age. So you used had plenty of other native fruits.

@bernardcleary4330 4 года назад

I'm from southern New England, Massachusetts but closer to Providence than to Boston. Dates were a big part of my mother's and both grandmothers' baking repertoire. My mother was born in 1936, but both grandmothers were young housewives throughout the Depression. Dates appeared more often at the holidays, but a date nut bread could appear on the breakfast table or with coffee or tea any time of year.

@HBritt-fh6wf 5 лет назад

Glen, I have a large collection of vintage cookbooks, and always found it interesting that so many of the baking recipes called for dates. So yes, dates were used a lot in American baking.

@johnbon6 3 года назад

Far more available and cheaper than chocolate in those days, especially baker's or semi-sweet. It gave cakes and cookies something sweet in them that kept well in abundance on a counter or in a cookie jar.

@ShesInLosAngeles 4 года назад

According to my Mother, who worked along side dust bowl refugees picking fruit and vegetables in the 30s, dates were plentiful in So Cal. The date palm grew in many back yards, and of course out in our desert. There were lots of roadside fruit stands along The Mother Road (Route 66) selling date shakes. To this day you can still jump in the car and drive out to Palm Springs and get your fill of dates and shakes. This looks absolutely delicious!s

@EastSider48215 5 лет назад

Dates were common enough between 1910-1940 in Detroit and Minnesota that both my grandmothers were routinely making all kinds of date cookies, breads, and bars. And neither of them were rich. I think you should compile a date recipe series. Those recipes look delicious and dates are underrated. I’m’na make that date cake this afternoon.

@lipstickzombie4981 5 лет назад

I do remember my cousins telling me dates were farmed in California even before the two world wars.

@sandyevans7454 4 года назад

The A&P Grocery Store had a cake that I think was called Spanish Bar with a very sweet white frosting. This cake tastes a lot like it but is much more delicious minus the too sweet frosting! I think this is my favorite recipe from Glen and Friends!

@soniakiwi Год назад

I would like to theorize on usage of dates in certain regions of American baking. There were vague mentions of food and spices in Willa Cather's novels about upper Midwestern life during the 19th century. If I remember correctly, I may have read certain mentions of dates and currants in cooking. That and I recall that dates and spices were popular in Northern cooking in the USA. I always associated dates and spices with white American baking. The reason why I am making this distinction is due to my multicultural upbringing. Every different culture and/or ethnicity had their own preferred and traditional baking and desserts. I was always thankful for everything that I tried 🙏🏼. Thank you for sharing your true Northern cooking 🌨️❄️🍁.

What an interesting episode, and a recipe we want to try. It reminds me of my great mother Laura Ford's "date and nut loaf" recipe. She was born in 1892 in Detroit, but married and lived in Windsor the rest of her life until 1995. My mom was close to her and I (born in '64) knew her well. I have several heirlooms from her and a number of recipes, including the loaf, which I still make sometimes. It starts, "Dissolve baking soda in boiling water and pour over chopped dates...," a measure which must have been necessary at the time. Her nine-day pickle recipe (still a favourite) calls for a piece of alum "the size of a walnut."

@VanWaffle Год назад

I included her date and nut loaf recipe in an essay about family cooking in the Winter 2016 edition of Edible Toronto.

My grandmother made my wedding cake 42 years ago. It was a recipe from the 1930’s. It was full of dates and she was from Southern Utah, USA. There were LOTS of dates in the USA during the 1930’s. Raisins were a different story.

My suspicion is that dates were just much more common back then. There are all kinds of fruits, vegetables,and concoctions (like kinds of catsup that didn't have tomatoes in them) that we simply no longer eat commonly, or don't even know once existed.

Yum! Thanks for the recipe. I made this today but used the melt and mix method (because I am lazy!). I put the dried fruit, coffee and sugar in saucepan, added the butter and heated it all over a low heat until the butter melted. Gave it abit of a stir and then put aside to cool for 10 mins. Added eggs followed by flour, then apple and nuts. Turned out perfectly. Tastes lovely with a slathering of salted butter and a cup of tea to wash it all down!

@sandyevans7454 4 года назад

Miss Maude I used your melt and mix method. It is in the oven right now and smells heavenly!

In 1838 Daltons Baking Goods was founded and provided and still to this day provides most of the dates, raisins, cherries, and candied fruit mix to Southern Ontario. They were bought by Reinhart Vinegar in 1998. Doesn’t answer the question about Grafton ND but it does answer why dates were used in Southern Ontario cakes.

@cigarmonthly 5 лет назад

Glen my wife and I love your Sunday morning series! As for dates I recall listening to a NPR story on the subject of dates. Apparently in 1900 some people from the U.S. Department of Agriculture we’re studying Dates and pushed for bringing the crop to the US. Fast forward to the Teens & Twenties and the Coachella Valley in California had turned into the hub of date growing in the US. My thought, and I have no evidence of this, but since it was sponsored by the Dept of Ag they probably put their resources towards dates being added to recipes. Here is the link to the show and article. www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/06/10/320346869/forbidding-fruit-how-america-got-turned-on-to-the-date

@roxanne533 5 лет назад

I started doing some Googling when Glenn mentioned the prices as well. I found this showing the ramp-up of u.s. date production, which seems to have really taken off in the 30s. That could account for it being included in a lot of recipes because they were trying to break into different markets as the previously planted trees began production. See p. 51 of the .pdf www.researchgate.net/publication/265981491_An_Overview_of_the_Changing_Date_Industry_in_the_United_States

I have a 1933 Mary Matensen's Century of Progress Cook book from Chicago IL and it has about 6 recipes with dates in it. My 1929 Partially complete township cookbook only had 2. I have the township cook book available on internet archive under JohnstownCenterCookbook1929. Our own township doesn't even have a copy so I think I have the last one in existence!

@medawson01 4 года назад

I just made this to go with my decaf this morning before going to church. It was delicious; however, it needed salt and vanilla. I almost added them, but I wanted to stay true to the recipe before tweaking it. I used Kerrygold Irish butter, Starbucks cold-brewed coffee, and dried fig pieces. Also, it sunk in the middle probably because I wasn't sure what a slow oven was. I Googled it, and it is between 300 and 350 degrees. I started at 350, turned the oven to 300 when I realized it was baking too quickly, and after an hour it still was not thoroughly baked. I turned up the heat to 350 degrees and covered the top to finish baking the cake. The taste, however, is excellent. Thank you.

@KevinRCarr 2 года назад

You're probably not going to see this, as it's an old video, but I'll leave this here, anyway. I grew up in western Minnesota and southeastern North Dakota, and all of my paternal relatives in that area used a lot of dates in baking, especially around the winter Holiday season. Raisins usually ended up in things like dressing/stuffing for the bird, and in fruit salads, but baked treats more often had dates.

@Mylitla 4 года назад

Many of my grandmother's cookbooks and handwritten recipes come from when she was learning to cook as a young wife and mother during the late 30's and WWII and you are correct that dates were much more popular then. During WWII dates were suggested as a substitute for scarce sugar and even before the war brought rationing sugar was, relatively speaking, quite expensive compared to today. While you are looking at "obsolete" ingredients, take a note of how often you see anchovies, or herring (kippers) on the menu, even for breakfast!

@FumerieHilaire 5 лет назад

I mean it makes sense that dates were so available. Most of the major date producing regions of the world (North Africa, the ME, Central Asia, India) were part of either the British empire or other European empires, meaning that their produce were freely available at relatively low prices to the economies of Europe and North America. In some cases I imagine whole regions depended on western markets for dates merely to get by. The oil economies that would come to transform many of those countries had yet to be fully developed and independence was a few decades away for most of them so they had limited control over how or to whom their national products were sold.

@SkepticalSteve01 4 года назад

Fumerie Hilaire My family lived in the U.K. from the 1950s to 60s, where my recollection is that Californian dates were unknown. Instead we had moist, sticky table dates, packed in oblong wooden trays with rounded ends, and cooking dates, rectangular slabs of compressed dry-ish dates weighing about half a pound and wrapped in cellophane with the brand and place of origin printed on it. Cheap cooking dates came from the Middle East, often Turkey or Syria (I think). My mother used to make dates scones and breads quite regularly - the process would always start with chopping the solid blocks into pieces with a sturdy knife. This century, back in New Zealand, all the dates in the supermarket are Californian and relatively expensive. I haven’t seen cooking dates for years (not that I’ve been actively looking for them). Maybe Depression-era Canadian dates were imported from Imperial sources?

@akr01364 4 года назад

It was due to Prohibition in the US effectively stifling vineyard production that dates became so popular. Sure, you can make dates into booze. But, since wine was a much more lucrative industry prior to then the date growers (date palms produce pretty early on in their growth cycle) took over for the failing raisin industry due to the fact that they couldn't sell as large an amount to wineries. It took a number of years after it was repealed for grape vines to come back on song to produce enough for raisins to be easily found.

@DebatingWombat 4 года назад

I suspect that the many date recipes may have to do with the British Empire dominating many date producing areas in the Middle East. As others have pointed out, dates keep and ship well and in the protectionist environment of the interwar years, it seems likely that dates from within the Empire would have been quite reasonably priced in Canada. Then there would of course be the sort of “exotica” aspect of cooking with dates (perhaps reminiscent of the “sheik” orientalism of early cinema?), rather than “just” sugar and the general tradition of using dried fruit as a sweet treat (probably stemming from English cooking from the 19th century).

Apple Cake (Arnie Cake) By Dale Calder Ingredients 1 cup of sugar 1 large egg 2 tablespoons shortening (or lard) 3 cups of chopped apples (peeled and cored) 1 cup all purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt Directions Cream the sugar, egg and shortening together Add the dry ingredients and mix well if the mix appears to be too dry you can add a little milk to lighten it up. Add the apples and mix well. Turn into a buttered 8X8 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. Until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out dry, around 30 to 40 minutes.

@michaelhumann19 5 лет назад

I might be able to shed some light on why North Dakotans use dates (this may or may not be true, but I feel like this is true). There is a group of people that came to North Dakota called the Germans from Russia, or the Volga Germans. This is my heritage, although I'm not from Grafton. These people lived in what is now Moldova and Ukraine. These people brought dates along with them. My grandmothers made many, many, many desserts with dates and I love them. My favorites are date pinwheel cookies and date kuchen, which is more of a custard pie with a yeast risen crust than it is a cake.

@michaelhumann19 5 лет назад

There's also an Icelandic population north of Grafton which might have brought date recipes to that area as well. And there's a large Norwegian population all across the state. It's not too surprising that there are a bunch of recipes in that cookbook that include dates. Dried fruits have definitely fallen out of fashion here but a lot of the older generation still like to use them in dishes both savory and sweet.

@seamus6387 5 лет назад

I've read a lot of old depression era recipes with dates and I live in the western US so maybe that's a regional thing? Most of them seemed to use either raisins or dates as a cheap sweetener so I guess they fell out of favor when things got better? Or it might be a throwback to the cultures. A lot that moved west might have held on to older recipes from Europe? Who knows, but I've seen plenty of recipes calling for dates or raisins. Mant seemed to favor one but also mentioned the other could be used too.

Dates were exported from the Middle East and fairly cheap.

FWIW: Keep in mind that the political borders of today were not the same as those in the mid 1930s. The US had a number of "Palm plantations" on various pacific islands for various reasons in the 19'teens and through to the start of ww2. Dates may have been 'stealth' subsidized in order to bolster claims to those islands. Hence the price of dates may have been quite inexpensive. Canada's proximity to the US may have benefited from this. The thing to do would be to have your the viewers of the channel find their local news paper archives and look at the grocery advertising. Fargo Forum, Grand Forks Herald, Bismark Tribune, Winnipeg free press. Quite rural news papers would have the highest prices and the people hardest hit by the depression.

How prevalent was the apple flavor? I might think to add some apple sauce to up the apple flavor and add a little more moisture.

So I found this article called, “ Forbidding fruit, How America Got Turned on to the Date.” I might answer a lot of questions of why the date was popular during this time period.

Dates keep without refrigeration, and I'm betting the relationship between date producing countries and the British Empire made them a relatively affordable source of sweetness in early 1900s Canada. Further south you have more local sweet produce but in Canada if you are importing anyway... All guesses but I would love to read a properly researched history

2:46 I am intrigued by the "Canadian Cookies" recipe. I wonder what makes them "Canadian"? They look like a pretty normal oatmeal raisin cookie. Do Americans not eat oatmeal raisin cookies?

@jjudy5869 4 года назад

One of my mother's stand-bys. I'm from Kansas. It had everything in it: oatmeal, raisins, nuts(black walnuts or pecans) and sweetened coconut flakes. If we could sneak in chocolate chips and peanut butter all the better.

Times change... there are many luxury meals that were once considered "poor man's" food. It was probably the same thing with dates. Luxury Meals That Were Once "Poor Man's" Food vocal.media/feast/luxury-meals-that-were-once-poor-man-s-food

Hey Glen, After seeing a couple of your old time recipes I got inspired and started to looking for old recipes from my country (Brazil) and found a couple of PDFs. They are wild, a lot of things that I never saw. I think you would like them, but the way they are written would, probably, make the translation way harder (the words are spelled in a way that I don't think a automatic translator could understand). It sure brings me a lot of nostalgia. Thanks!
