Sometimes we need a homemade gift or special treat that only looks and tastes like it took hours to make. That’s when our secret family recipes come out of the card file. We’ve made a few of those recipes available to you, our beloved readers. Enjoy!

PUMPKIN BREAD

This one is an old recipe, but I made a few changes in the "tweaking" process.

Cheryl St.John :-)

Stir together:

4 c sugar

½ c canola oil

½ c extra light olive oil

1 large can pumpkin

Sift together and add:

5 c flour

4 tsp. soda

1 tsp. cloves

½ tsp. ginger

2 tsp. cinnamon

½-1 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. salt (I use celtic sea salt in everything)

Nut meats, if desired

Pour into greased loaf pans.

3 large loaf pans-bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr 15 min

5 small loaf pans-bake at 350 degrees for approx. 1 hr

Loaves will keep for a long time if placed in plastic bags and stored in the refrigerator.

Serve warm with whipped cream. I especially love Extra Creamy Cool Whip on top.

Yummmm...
