New England Brown Bread Steamed in a Tin Can

I am making this for the Holidays this year. I love Vintage and Classic American Recipes.
Brown Bread was created by Early American Colonists. The process was taught to them by Native Americans.
Wheat Flour wasn't readily available so when they could get it they combined 3 different Flours to make this special Bread.
Ovens were also scarce so it was steamed in a Tin Container over an open fire.
It was traditionally served with Butter and Jam.
