Amish Pumpkin Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. granulated sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1 lb. canned pumpkin
3 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt (scant)
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. each: cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg
2/3 c. water
1 c. pecans (optional)

Preparation

Mix sugar and eggs together.
Add pumpkin.
Then add all dry ingredients, then water, stirring just until mixed.
Pour batter into two greased and floured 9 x 5-inch loaf pans (or I use 5 of the 5 1/2 x 3-inch loaf pans).
These make nice gifts.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for approximately 1 hour.
For the large pans, less time for small ones.
I check with a toothpick.
