No question about it, we’re definitely into making pumpkin this and pumpkin that now, so save some that’s left over from your whatever or buy a can for today’s nifty swifty, coconut-kissed pumpkin bread.

“Here is an excellent recipe for pumpkin bread,’’ longtime Forum helper-outer and Arlington cook Fern Speed writes.

“I don’t remember where I got it, but everyone likes it.’’

Fern adds, “I grease the pans with Crisco shortening — I found that if you use oil, the bread sticks.’’

Fern’s pumpkin bread

5eggs

11/4cups oil

2cups sugar

2cups canned pumpkin

2small boxes instant coconut pudding mix

2cups flour

1teaspoon salt

1teaspoon baking soda

1teaspoon cinnamon

1cup chopped nuts

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then add oil, sugar, pumpkin and pudding mix and beat well.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon, mixing well.

Add flour mixture to pudding mixture and stir until mixed thoroughly.

Stir in nuts and pour batter into 2 shortening-greased 5-by-9-inch loaf pans.

Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until bread tests done.

Remove from oven and let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out on racks and let cool thoroughly.

Makes two 5-by-9-inch loaves.
