Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Pumpkin Bread
Mix together all of the following:

3 1/2 cups flour
3 cups sugar (or you can half it to 1 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg (if you don't have all of these spices, sometimes I just use pumpkin pie spice, which is a blend of spices and it tastes great. I'd use at least 2-3 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons allspice
1 cup oil (or you can half it to 1/2 cup oil, 1/2 cup applesauce for lower fat)
16 oz of canned pumpkin (this could be equal to 2 cups)
2/3 cup water
4 eggs
It also calls for raisins, which I don't like. You can add them if you like them. You might try soaking them in rum first for a nice flavor.
Mix well, put in to 2 greased loaf pans bake at 350 for 1 hour. THIS MAKES 2 LOAVES.
