Pumpkin Bread

With fall in full swing and everyone making their annual pilgrimage to the pumpkin patch, it's time to break out the pumpkin recipes! I wanted to share our family favourite. It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving (or Christmas!) without this melt-in-your-mouth pumpkin bread. I hope you'll enjoy it!

4 eggs

2 2/3 cup sugar

2 cups pumpkin

1 cup oil

1/2 cup water

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 1/3 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two loaf pans and set aside. Combine eggs and sugar. Mix well. Add pumpkin, oil and water, blending well. Add dry ingredients and mix till moistened. Fill each loaf pan about half full. Bake for 1 hour. Let cool for 20 minutes before removing from pan. Loosen sides with knife before removing.
