Pumpkin Bread

Grease a loaf pan with butter or crisco and set aside.

In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.

Add 1 c of brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, water, sour cream, and oil to a large bowl and mix well.

Slowly add dry ingredients  to the wet ingredients until blended. Be careful not to over mix. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake for 70 minutes or until cooked through (may take an additional 5-10 minutes depending on oven).

When loaf is almost done cooking, prepare caramel sauce by whisking 1/4 c brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a sauce pan on medium heat. Once sauce begins to simmer, cook for 1 more minute or until the sauce slightly thickens.

Once pumpkin loaf is cooked through, let cool, then remove from pan. Drizzle the loaf with caramel sauce and sprinkle the top with pecans. Enjoy!
