Pumpkin Bread- Melissa

Pumpkin bread

2/3 Cup Shortening

2 2/3 cup sugar

1- 16 oz can pumpkin

4 eggs

2/3 cup water

3 1/3 cup flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp ginger

Mix sugar and shortening in large bowl. Add eggs, pumpkin, and water. Blend in the rest of the ingredients. Pour into three greased loaf pans (8 1/2 x 4 1/2 in)

bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes at 350. Cool completely before cutting.

I always check mine at about 45 minutes and take out shortly after... making sure it is done of course.  I NEVER wait for it to cool either, I can't wait that long.
