2/3 cup shortening
2/3 qt sugar
1/2 qt cooked pumpkin
2/3 cup water
4 lg eggs
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 tsps baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
7/8 qt flour
1 cup dried cranberries
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing well. Add pumpkin and water. Combine cinnamon to flour, add to pumpkin mix. Add cranberries. Bake in 350 deg oven until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean. (Baking size depends on the loaf pan size.)
This makes a huge amount of bread – you can happily cut the recipe if you wish.
