Sweet Potato Bread

Recipe Type:	Dessert and Breads
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups sugar 1 cup cooking oil 2 cups cooked, mashed Alabama sweet potatoes 4 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon allspice 1 box chopped dates 1 cup chopped Alabama pecans
Directions:
Mix sugar, oil, sweet potatoes, eggs and vanilla. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Put equal amounts in three standard loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-80 minutes. When cool, slice loaves as thick or thin as desired.   Note: A variation of this recipe reduces the sugar to 2 1/2 cups and uses 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Part of the flour may be used to coat the dates and nuts before adding them to the batter; this keeps them from sinking to the bottom.
