Great pumpkin bread recipe, perfect for the holidays or to give as gifts.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp cloves
• 2 tsp soda
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp mace
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 cups pumpkin
• 2/3 cup water
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 4 tin coffee cans, label removed (Walmart sells very cheap coffee in tin cans, empty)
• Crisco
• Flour
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Remove coffee from tin cans. Wash, grease inside with Crisco, and flour (removing excess flour).

Beat together: Sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil.

Add in: Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, soda, salt, mace, pecans, pumpkin, and chocolate chips (optional).

Add in alternately: Water and 3 1/2 cups flour.

Pour mix evenly across 4 coffee cans. Place coffee cans (lid off) in oven and bake at 350 degrees for 1-1.5 hours, or until done. Cooking in coffee cans takes longer than cooking in loaf pans, so you will need to check with a toothpick beginning after 1 hour. Cool.

Once cooled, lids can be placed back on the cans.

Serving is easy - just slide the desired amount out of the can and slice.
