Let the Baking Begin

One of my favorite parts of the Christmas season is the baking.  It smells sooo good, all those yummy treats baking away. 

So today I will share one of our favorite recipes with you.

Pumpkin Bread

This will make three large loaves

In large mixing bowl add:

2 cups butter

3 cups sugar

1 - 29 oz can of solid packed pumpkin

6 eggs

3 tsp vanilla

Mix all together until well blended

Add:

3 tsp baking powder

3 tsp cinnamon

3 tsp baking soda

1 tsp allspice

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cloves

4 1/2 cups flour

Mix until smooth.  Note: you can add 1 cup of chocolate chips if you desire.  Pour into 3 greased loaf pans.  Bake at 350' for  40-50 mins.  Cool slightly then remove from pans.  Cool completely.  Store in gallon size Ziploc bags.  Freezes great.

Enjoy!!
