1 cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
½ tsp. allspice
½ tsp. cloves (use about 1/8 of a tsp. can be a bit overpowering otherwise)
½ tsp. salt
1 cup raisins (plumped)
walnuts and dates to taste (about 1/2 cup of each)

In a separate bowl combine all the dry ingredients together. Add to the shortening mixture and mix until fully combined.
