Pumpkin Bread

September 4th, 2008. Filed under: Nancy's Recipe Box.

It’s a little early yet, but time seems to have a way of flying.  Soon the harvest season and then Thanksgiving will be upon us.  This Pumpkin Bread recipe is one that I cut from some unknown magazine many years ago.  You can make it in a loaf pan, but I like to make mini loaves.

PUMPKIN BREAD

Beat together

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup dark molasses
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Add

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 2/3 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon’1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1tbsp grated orange rind
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Mix just until all ingredients are blended and moist.  Bake in a lightly oiled 5″ x 9″ loaf pan for 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F.  Let bread cool for 1/2 hour before removing it from the pan.

The more I look at the word, pumpkin, the funnier it looks.  Strange looking word, isn’t it?
