1 Duncan Hines nut bread mix
1 egg
3/4 c. water
1/2 c. canned pumpkin
2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour bottom only of a 9"x5" or 8"x4" loaf pan.

Combine all ingredients in large bowl. Stir with spoon about 60 strokes until all ingredients are moistened. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake 45 to 55 minutes. Bread is done when toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool 15 minutes, remove from pan. Let bread cool completely before slicing or wrapping. Store wrapped bread in refrigerator. To freeze bread, cool for 3 hours, then wrap securely and keep in freezer for up to 3 months.

For gift giving, bake 3 loaves, since 1 (16 oz.) can of pumpkin will yield 3 1/2 cups. If you do not choose to bake 3 loaves at once, the extra pumpkin can be pre-measured and frozen for later use.
