3 1/2 cups flour
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons allspice (optional)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup water
1 cup oil
2 cups pumpkin
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix wet ingredients in another large bowl at low speed by mixer or by hand.
Make well in dry ingredients (a large indentation in center).
Add wet ingredients to well and fold in until thoroughly moistened.
Add nuts and raisins, folding to distribute evenly.
Do not overmix.
Bake in 3 greased and floured loaf pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minute.
Freezes great!
Can also be made into muffins.
Adjust cooking time as necessary.
Tip: I've found that baking in\"dark\" aluminum pans tends to burn easily on outside.
I use light colored aluminum pans.
They reflect the heat better.
