Brenda's Pumpkin (nut) Bread



Every year around Thanksgiving, my cousin Brenda bakes these Pumpkin Bread loaves which are simply delicious. Goes well with coffee in the morning, a mid day  snack or for dessert later in the evening when you're feeling a bit, "peckish". Nothing like embracing the Autumn season with pumpkin flavored baked goods. This is one of my favorites. It's not too sweet and a it makes a great item to bring to dinner as a guest. Enjoy!


3 cups sugar
1 cup salad oil
4 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
2/3 cup water
2 cups (1 15 oz can) Libby's 100% pumpkin
4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup chopped walnuts (Optional).  


Grease pans well.  Cream sugar and salad oil.  Add rest of inredients and mix well.
Fold in nuts.  Bake at 350 for about 1 hour (insert knife to check if done)
