every holiday my gma always made what she called "Big Huntz" servred with some berry sause.
here is the receipe:
1c melted Lard/shortening
3 eggs
1 tsp soda
3C milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnanon
1/2 tsp all spice
1 C Rasins
6 C flour
Boil for 3hrs slice and serve.
not realy an oven bread but is anyone familiar with this bread?
Was the mixture in its own pan/container that was set in a pot of boiling water?

Wow, never heard of boiled bread before, except partially boiled bread like bagels. I know steamed bread, but boiled bread...wow!
it says to pour batter into a cotton sack, tie off and boil in water for 3hrs. slice and serve with sause. Traditionaly it was rasberry sause at the table.
You can google the term and get a long list of descriptions and recipes. Here's one such page. The part about boiled puddings is Item 2, about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way down the page.

Sounds like a Scottish 'clootie dumpling' - named for the 'cloot' or cloth it was boiled in.
Eaten warm with custard for 'pudding' and even better sliced and fried with bacon for breakfast next morning!
