Down East Pumpkin Bread

Happy New Year!  Another year over and onto new adventures! I could not let this holiday season go by and not post this Down East Pumpkin Bread recipe.   I have made this a number of times and love it. I like to bake these in the small tins and give them as gifts at the holiday.  BUT no matter when this is delicious anytime. So if you have not had enough pumpkin and are looking for one more recipe to make,  this is it!

INGREDIENTS
1 (15 ounce can) pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Flour six 7 x 3 loaf pans. In a large bowl mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pout into the prepared pans.
Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Enjoy,
