Pumpkin Nut Bread!

Tis the season for yummy, spiced baked goods.  This pumpkin bread is good for any gathering, or even as a gift.  Recipe makes two loaves.  Note: if you only have one loaf pan, bake half the mixture; once the first loaf is done and the pan is cleaned, bake the second one.

Ingredients:
3 cups flour
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups pumpkin, canned or fresh puree
4 eggs
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts)

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour two loaf pans and set aside.
2. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
3. Combine pumpkin, eggs, oil and nuts in a separate bowl.
4. Combine both mixtures, stir well.  Divide the mixture between the two pans.  Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
