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

clean. Turn out onto a rack and cool before slicing. NOTE: The
flavor improves is the bread stands overnight before serving.
