In a separate bowl cream shortening and sugar.
Add eggs one at a time.
Add vanilla and pumpkin.
Gradually add in dry ingredients from first bowl.
Pour equal amount into both loaf pans.
Bake on center rake for approx 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean.
All ovens so I start checking my loaves at 45 mins and recheck every 5 minutes until done.
We like it best cold!

It also freezes nicely.
