Pumpkin Bread

My friend, Melissa, brought me a loaf of this stuff. It's so good. I loved it because it's moist and so delicious. I had to get the recipe and finally made it today. The kids are devouring it quickly.

The good thing is that it made 8 small loaves.

1 (29 oz) can pumpkin (I used two small 15 oz. cans)

1 Cup Oil

4 cups sugar

Mix first three ingredients then add the dry ingredients:

5 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 to 1 cup dates-chopped small (you can buy them already chopped)

3/4 to 1 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans, of course)

Bake at 325 for 40-45 minutes, or til done.
