Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 tsp. nutmeg
• 3 cups sugar
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups of fresh pumpkin --> 16 ounces if using canned pumpkin
• 2/3 cup water --> if pumpkin is canned
• 1/2 cup water --> if pumpkin is fresh or frozen
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar in large mixing bowl. Add eggs, water, oil and pumpkin. Stir until blended. Add nuts. Mix well. Pour into two 9x5" loaf pans. Bake 1 hour. Cool slightly and take out of pans to let cool on a rack. This tastes best if you wrap, refrigerate and wait a day to eat it. It keeps well in the refrigerator and can be frozen.

I prefer to mix the powdered items in one bowl. Instead of just cinnamon and nutmeg, I add allspice.

• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 2 tsp. allspice

This recipe is really great for parties... And even better for stoners at parties. One party of about 20-25 people (with about 50% of them smoking out), one whole batch (2 loaves) vanished within 10 minutes of pulling them from the oven. Then the next day at the same party, another batch disappeared in 15 minutes. "It's a stoner's delight" -- Jeff. I also made it for Apocalypso NOW! SoCal Noder Gathering XP 2002 Professional Edition. It seemed like people enjoy it. :)
