OLE TIMEY PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 Deg. Butter and flower two 9 x 5 loaf pans, or spray with non stick baking spray.
• Mix all the dry ingredients (including spices) together in one bowl. Mix the milk and the vanilla together in another bowl. Mix the sugars and canola oil in a mixer bowl. Mix until it is completely blended, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the pumpkin and blend well. Add the flour mixture in thirds alternating with the milk, starting with the flour mixture. Mix until just blended. Stir in the nuts.
• Divide batter between the two loaf pans and bake for 1 hour or until a wooden pick comes out clean. Let rest for 10 - 20 min then invert.

• Rough chop the fruit, but don't puree it.
• Add the raisins and fruit to the egg mixture, pour over the bread and gently mix.
