Joyce's Pumpkin Bread

You didn't think I'd leaving you hanging with no pumpkin recipes did you?

Joyce is the lady who taught me that pumpkin does NOT come from a can. This is her Pumpkin Bread recipe. Joyce was a super special lady. She was like an adopted mom to me while I lived in California. She passed away almost 10 years ago, but I think of her often and especially when I make her pumpkin bread. I hope you like it as much as everyone else.

3 C sugar
3 1/2 C flour
1 tsp cloves
