Pumpkin Bread.

So maybe this post is about a week or so late?  But on the bright side you can probably score a deal on canned pumpkin.  This is my mother-in-law's recipe and it is amazing!  Here's what I learned:

1. I always use the foil bread pans that come in a three pack.
2. Keep an eye on them towards the end as the outside can burn quickly.
3. Once cooled, we wrap them in foil and store them in the freezer. So good frozen!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease three loaf pans.  Mix dry ingredients.  Add wet ingredients and mix well.  Stir in raisins.  Pour evenly between the three pans.  Bake for approximately 1 hour.
