Cushaw Pumpkin Bread

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Combine well and set aside:
4 cups mashed cushaw pumpkin
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs

In a separate mixing bowl, sift together:
3 1/2 cups self rising flour
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
2 tsp cinnamon

Combine both mixtures together blending thoroughly.

Mix in:

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup craisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Pour batter into greased mini loaf pans.

Bake in the slow oven until just beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan. You will be able to look at them and tell when they are done. Or use a toothpick to check.

If you use the batter in a standard loaf pan the baking time is about an hour maybe more.

Sometimes it takes a little longer to cook and some times a little less. I think it depends on the wetness of the mashed pumpkin.
