Recipe: Pumpkin Pecan Bread

PUMPKIN PECAN BREAD

2 eggs
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup Miracle Whip Dressing*
1/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 tsp. Calumet Baking Powder
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup Planters Chopped Pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat eggs lightly in large bowl with wire whisk. Add sugar, pumpkin, dressing and milk; mix well. Add combined dry ingredients; stir just until moistened.* Gently stir in pecans.

Pour into greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Bake 55 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely. Cut into 16 slices to serve.

*Great Substitute
Prepare as directed, using Miracle Whip Light Dressing.

**For best results, use a light touch when mixing quick bread batter. Over-stirring creates a dense tough loaf.
