    Recipe Introduction


    A nice, tasty treat for Autumn holidays. Best when made a day ahead of time, and wrapped in plastic wrap until serving time. Makes 2 loaves, about 12 slices each.


    List of Ingredients


    • 3/4 cup butter or margerine
    • 2 + 1/2 cups sugar
    • 4 eggs
    • 1 one-pound can of pumpkin
    • 2/3 cup water
    • 3 + 1/2 cups unbleached flour
    • 2 tsp. baking soda
    • 1 + 1/ 2 tsp.salt
    • 1 + 1/2 tsp. baking powder
    • 1 tsp. cinnamon
    • 1 tsp. ground cloves
    • 2/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans


    Instructions


    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans.
    2. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly. Mix in pumpkin and water.
    3. In a seperate bowl, combine remaining ingredients, and mix well. Stir dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture -- a little at a time -- and keep stirring until batter is thoroughly blended.
    4. Pour batter into loaf pans, dividing an even amount between the two.
    5. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    6. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pans.
