Brenda's Pumpkin Nut Bread



Figured I'd re-post this delicious Autumn recipe as it's quite a tasty treat during the winter as well. 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". 
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!

Ingredients
3 cups sugar
1 cup salad oil
4 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp nutmeg  (I usually put a tad more)
1 tsp cinnamon ( I usually put 2)
2/3 cup water
2 cups (1 can-15 oz) Libby's 100% pumpkin
4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda (I usually use baking powder)
1 cup chopped walnuts (I usually put a bit more)


Directions
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)
