That recipe looks great. I am not a fan of raisins so they will be left out. Got to buy eggs and nuts the next time I'm at the store and I'll be good to go. I don't know what is going on with the chickens lately but the store that I usually get a dozen eggs for 1.69 - 1.89 per dozen had them for $3.29 the last time I was there. At that price I opted to give them a pass, there's plenty o other things to eat meanwhile. Hopefully those chickens are settling down and egg prices will return closer to the norm soon.

Oh, and I'll likely make the recipe in my muffin pan. That way I can leave a couple out to eat now and freeze the rest so I'm not tempted to eat the whole lot at once. That way I can thaw one in the fridge every other day or so for breakfast. Will be sure to post how they turned out.

Oh I would love that pumpking bread please and thankyou if you don't mind. That's my fave. Haven't made it in years cause I lost he recipe.

And for anyone else:
Makes two loaf pans or 8 or 9 jars (pumpkin bread in a jar recipe) my mom copied this from a Leisure Arts magazine in 1987.

2/3 C shortening
2 2/3 C sugar
4 eggs
2 C pumpkin
2/3 C water
3 1/3 C flour
1/2 t. baking powder
2 t. baking soda
1 1/2 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. ground clove

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream shortening and sugar. Beat in eggs. And pumpkin and water. In seperate bowl, sift dry ingredients together. Add gradually to pumpkin mixture. Pour into greased loaf pans. Bake about 45-55 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

For jars: pour into greased jars, filling each half full of batter. Clean sealing edge of jars. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Scald lids, keep in water until used. When bread is done, remove jars, clean sealing edge again, place lids on jars and screw rings on firmly. As the bread cools, jars will seal. Use wide mouth pint jars wth seals and rings.

Note: I am an avid fan of pumpkin spice, I use 2 t. in place of ground cloves Enjoy!
