Del Monte’s Pumpkin Bread

This is a long-time favorite recipe for Del Monte’s Original Pumpkin Bread recipe, which first appeared on their pumpkin can label since 1969.

Ingredients:

3 cups sugar

1 cup salad oil

1 16-ounce can pumpkin

4 eggs, beaten

3 1/2 cups flour

2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon allspice

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

2/3 cup water

Directions:
Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, allspice cinnamon, and cloves. Add to the pumpkin mixture alternately with the water. Mix well after each addition.

Pour into 2 well greased and floured 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Bake at 350ºF. for 11/2 hours, until loaves test done. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cool. Makes 2 loaves.

NOTE: I wish BEFORE people posted a recipe claiming it's the genuine recipe from a certain company… they were honest! I posted this recipe because I had previously posted that I’m looking for an actual recipe either a photocopy or picture of LIBBY'S® Pumpkin Nut Bread on the label of canned pumpkin. The recipe can be found on the in side of LIBBY'S® Pumpkin can label in 1980-1990’s. Through the years, LIBBY'S® has altered the recipe.

Cream sugar and oil. Add eggs and pumpkin: mix well.
