Mix flours, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Stir in buttermilk, molasses, melted Crisco, and raisins until well mixed.
Spoon batter into 4 well-greased 1-pound vegetable or fruit cans. Cover with aluminum foil and tie with string.
Place cans on a rack in a large kettle. Pour in boiling water to come halfway up sides of cans. Cover and simmer for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to keep cans in boiling water to the halfway point.
Remove from kettle and remove foil. Cool in cans for 10 minutes on a rack. Invert loaves onto rack. Serve warm.
