My Pumpkin Bread...

Pumpkin Bread, my version,

1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
1/3 shortening
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
4 eggs
1 can 16 oz pumpkin
2/3 cup water
3 1/3 cups flour
2 t baking soda
1 1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking powder
1 t cinnamon
1 t ground cloves
2/3 cup chopped pecans
2/3 cup raisins

Mix shortening, applesauce, sugars.  Add eggs, pumpkin and water.  Blend in flour and other dry ingredients. Add pecans and raisins.  Preheat oven to 350.  I use (3) tin loaf pans.  I spray with the flour pam, and then dust with sugar and cinnamon mixed.  Bake for 55-60 minutes.  Cool 10 minutes, remove from pans.  Freezes well, but mine never makes it to the freezer.  Happy Fall!
