How to Make Pumpkin Bread

by Joy Wilding

Learn how to make pumpkin bread using your fresh or canned pumpkin. We've been eating fresh pumpkin bread for years. It's a great way to use the fresh pumpkin from your garden. It also freezes well, if you want to save a few loaves for later.

Ingredients

• 4 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp cloves
• 1 tsp ginger
• 2 tsp salt
• 4 tsp soda
• 8 eggs
• 4 cubes butter
  (You can substitute 2 cups of oil or 2 cups of applesauce for the butter)
• 1 cup honey
• 4 cups pumpkin
• 6 cups wheat flour
• Optional- add chopped nuts

Mix in the pumpkin and dry ingredients.

Bake in a greased loaf pans for 1 hour at 350°. Yields 4 loaves.

To check and see if the pumpkin bread is done, stick a knife in the middle of the loaf and pull it back out. If there's dough on the knife, you need to cook it a little longer. If the knife is clean, the bread is done.
