3 c. sugar
3/4 c. shortening
4 eggs
2 c. mashed pumpkin or yams
1 (6 oz.) can frozen orange juice, thawed
3 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 c. chopped nuts

Cream sugar and shortening. Beat eggs, one at a time. Add pumpkin or yams and orange juice. Sift together flour, salt, soda and spices. Add to creamed mixture. Stir in nuts.

To bake, pour into 4 (1 pound) coffee cans, greased and floured. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 40 to 45 minutes. These cans can be sealed with the plastic lids and frozen for later use.

NOTE: This bread makes excellent gifts. It will keep for a long time. For parties, try it sliced thinly with a layer of cream cheese softened with pineapple juice between layers and cut into small bite size sandwiches.
