Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Here is a great Thanksgiving time Pumpkin Bread recipe from a friend of my mother. She raves about this one so I thought this would be a good time to share it with Cookbook Village's fans and customers.

Recipe Instructions:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups sugar
• 1 cup oil
• 2 cups canned pumpkin
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup raisins

Preparation:

1. Cream sugar and oil with beaters (not too much)
2. Add 2 cans pumpkin
3. Sift Together
4. Add the above mixture and mix thoroughly
5. Bake in greased and floured loaf pan 1 hour & 15 minutes @ 350 degrees F or until a toothpick comes out clean
