Grandma's Pumpkin Bread with Raisins and Pecans image

This pumpkin bread recipe with raisins and pecans has been handed down through 4 generations of my family and it makes 2 loaves. Over time, the recipe has changed a bit to accommodate more modern ingredients. It is the the best pumpkin bread recipe I have come across yet.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ⅔ cups white sugar
⅔ cup shortening
1 (16 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
⅔ cup water
3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon baking powder
⅔ cup pecan nuts
⅔ cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  • Cream sugar and shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Stir in pumpkin puree, eggs, and water. Mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and baking powder in a separate bowl; stir into the egg mixture. Fold in pecans and raisins. Spoon equal amounts of batter into the prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.
