"I LOVE my mom's pumpkin bread, as does everyone else at our house. It's a dense, not too spicy but flavorful bread. We like ours plain, no raisins, no nuts, but you could add them if you like."

In a separate bowl cream shortening and sugar.
Add eggs one at a time.
Add vanilla and pumpkin.
Gradually add in dry ingredients from first bowl.
Pour equal amount into both loaf pans.
Bake on center rake for approx 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean.
