Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread

1 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 1/2 tsp Allspice Spice
3 1/2 cups flour, sifted
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
3 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
2 cups fresh pumpkin, strained or 1 can
Nuts to taste (optional)

Sift all the dry ingredients together. Then add the oil. Next add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Follow with water, which I reduce also if using fresh or frozen pumpkin. Finally add the pumpkin and nuts, beating after each. Pour into greased 2 large loaf pans, quarter loaf pans or muffin tins and bake at 350 degrees preheated oven. 55-60 minutes for the loaf, 25-30 minutes for the quarter loaves or 20 minutes for muffins. Till toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.  This recipe makes 2 VERY large loaves (or 8-10 quarter loaves depending on how full you fill your pans.)
