Pumpkin Bread

My sister-in-law made this last year for Thanksgiving and it was TO DIE FOR! YUM

Pumpkin Bread

Mix thoroughly the following dry ingredients in a medium bowl:

3 cups sugar

½ tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. baking soda

3-1/3 cups flour

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. nutmeg

½ tsp. ground cloves

½ tsp. ground ginger

In mixer,

4 large eggs – beat until foamy

Add slowly: 1 cup Wesson oil (only use Wesson for no oily aftertaste)

Beat in: 2 cups freshly cooked and pureed pumpkin (or canned pumpkin)

Add the dry ingredients gradually to the pumpkin mixture. Spoon

Batter into two greased or sprayed glass loaf pans. Bake at 350 for

one hour. Cool in pans on a raised rack. Makes two loaves.
