12. Give us the recipe please!

With or without nuts?

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Sure..it's without nuts..

2/3 cup shortening (or butter/margarine)
2 2/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 lb pumpkin
2/3 cup water
3 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves

Cream sugar and shortening together. Add eggs, pumpkin, and water. Stir. Add the dry ingredients and spices. Pour into two greased loaf pans and bake in a preheated 350 oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Mine actually took 1 hour and 25 minutes.
