Pumpkin Bread

 

Pumpkin Bread

 

Again I used fresh pumpkin in this so it is lighter in color than it would be if you made it from canned pumpkin. 

I didnt get pictures of the mixing up process.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease three 9x5x3 inch loaf pans.

 
3 cups of granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons of baking soda
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour

In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and flower.  Make a well in center of dry ingredients. 



1 cup cooking oil
4 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 cups of cookedmashed pumpkin
1 cup chopped walnut or pecan meats (optional)

Pour oil, beaten eggs, water, vinegar and pumpkin into well.  Mix just until moistened.  Add nutmeats , stirring only until blended. 
Pour batter into prepared pans. 
Bake 1 1/4 hours or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 


I rarely add nuts because I have issues with them but when I do, I use walnuts. 
I am shooting for Thanksgiving breakfast for these 3 loaves while we watch the parades.
