*I found this recipe on the internet! Requires canning jars.
2/3 cup solid shortening
2 2/3 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 cups prepared pumpkin
2/3 cup water
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup chopped pecans
Oven: 325º
Cream shortening and sugar. Gradually beat in eggs, pumpkin, and water. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and spices. Add to pumpkin mixture, mixing thoroughly. Stir in nuts. Pour mixture into greased wide mouth pint jars filling 1/2 full. Bake for 45 minutes. When done, remove 1 jar at a time and wipe sealing edge with paper towel or very clean cloth and screw cap on tightly. The heat will vacuum seal the jar and the bread will keep for up to one year. Makes 8 pints.
