Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in pumpkin, water and orange. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Stir into batter until just until moistened. Fold in raisins and nuts. Spray 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick spray (or use multiple smaller pans). Spoon mixture into bread pan(s). Bake for 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.

Parchment paper on the bottom helps the loaves come out clean. Smaller loaves require less time, 45 minutes or so.
