Ingredients

2 ¾ cups white sugar
⅔ cup shortening
2 cups pureed cooked butternut squash
4 eggs
⅔ cup water
3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
⅔ cup chopped walnuts
⅔ cup raisins

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

2

In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and shortening until fluffy. Stir in butternut squash, eggs, and water.

3

In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Combine this dry mixture with the wet ingredients. Fold in walnuts and raisins until evenly distributed.

4

Pour batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5

Let the loaves cool slightly in the pans before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
