How to make pumpkin bread:

In large bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, pumpkin and eggs. In medium bowl, stir together white and whole wheat flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Fold this into pumpkin mixture, stirring for 2 minutes just to moisten the dry ingredients. Stir in raisins and nuts. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan (or 2 mini loaf pans). Bake the bread in a preheated 350° oven for about 1 hour, or until a pick inserted in center of bread comes out clean. (Check after 50 minutes if using mini loaf pans.) Set the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn out loaf to cool completely. Yields 1 loaf.

*If using puree from whole pumpkin, prepare as follows: Wash skin of pumpkin thoroughly; remove stem and cut in half. Remove seeds and scoop out fibrous center. Place cut sides down on cookie sheet and cook at 300° for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool, scoop out pulp, puree in blender and use according to recipe.

**You can use any combination of these.
