Gram's Pumpkin Bread image

Yeah, I finally came across a bread recipe of my Grammie's and I am sure glad I did. This bread has a wonderful flavor with the addition of dates and nuts too. I just love the smell of cinnamon and cloves when it's baking....makes you want to slice up a piece and add a little butter right when you take it out of the oven. I love...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 c shortening
4 large eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
2 c pumpkin
2/3 c water
2 tsp soda
3 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cloves
2/3 c nuts, chopped (walnut or pecan)
2/3 c dates, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Cream together shortening, sugar and eggs. Then add 2 cups pumpkin. Next, you add the 2 tsp of soda with the water and add to mixture. Now, I would sift the remaining dry ingredients and add to the mixture.
  • 2. Stir in the nuts and dates at the end.
  • 3. Grease and flour your pans. You can use two large loaf pans or 3 smaller loaves. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • 4. Cool on wire rack.
  • 5. Slice up and add a little butter .....yumm!
  • 6. Sept. 28th, 2014 -- First pumpkin goodies to be made for the season. I always make one loaf with just dates and the other with dates & nuts.
