Preparation: Heat your oven to 325ยฐF (163ยฐC) degrees and grease the bottom of 2 loaf pans to prevent sticking.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, sugar, butter, margarine, and water. Use a mixer to beat the mixture for about 1 minute at medium speed until it’s well combined and slightly fluffy.

Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the eggs, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and clove to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Continue to beat the mixture for another minute until everything is evenly incorporated.

Add Fruits and Nuts: Stir in the dates, raisins, and pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter, adding a delightful texture and sweetness to your bread.
-
Pour into Pans: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans, ensuring an even distribution for consistent baking.
-
Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean, indicating that they are thoroughly baked and ready to enjoy.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the pumpkin fruit bread to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve this delightful treat either warm or at room temperature, and savor the delicious flavors of pumpkin, spices, and mixed fruits in every bite.
