Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease (with either butter or magarine) pan*. Mix dry ingredients separately; set aside. Mix pumpkin, eggs, vanilla, oil, and water. Add dry ingredients to mixture. Blend well, then stir in nuts. Pour into pan(s.)* Bake @ 325 for 1 hour. Then do "knife test" i.e., insert knife, if it comes out clean, cake/bread is done. It usually takes about 1 hr and 10 minutes in my oven. *Note about pan(s) - I use a bundt pan whenever I make this. The recipe makes the bundt pan plus 1 small loaf pan. This is a *heavy* pumpkin bread ~ one that is moist and *very* tasty. Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest by "Marilyn Maizel" <imarilm@texas.net> on Dec 29, 1998,
