Pumpkin Bread

Just in time for Thanksgiving. This will make three full size loaves. It is probably the best recipe I have ever tried for pumpkin bread. It is also a good recipe for zucchini - just replace the pumpkin for zucchini - same amout - 6 cups.

Preheat oven to 350 deg.

6 c. pumpkin OR shredded zucchini
3 1/3 c. sugar
1 1/3 c. vegetable oil (I use canola)
4 tsp. vanilla
8 eggs
6. c. flour
4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. pecans
1 c. raisins (boiled to plump, then drained)

Mix all dry ingredients and all wet ingredients. Blend well. Add nuts and raisins last. Spray 3 bread pans w/PAM. Pour into pans. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes if your pans are 9" and 1 hour if your pans are 8".

Can also make mini loaves - will make 16 mini loaves - bake for 45 minutes.
