Dreamy Holiday Pumpkin Bread with Carolina Cream Cheese Icing
How to make the Pumpkin Bread
Makes 3 large loaves
Ingredients
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
2 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour (or, all purpose flour works, too)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
DIRECTIONS
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans. (Can also use cupcake tins)
* In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugars until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.
*Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Carolina Cream Cheese Icing: (double recipe per loaf)
One 8-ounce package softened cream cheese (per loaf)
1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine, softened
1 box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
chopped nuts on top or folded in - option and very yummy!
Fold in a few scoops of whip cream for a lighter, extra yummy, icing. That's the Carolina "twist". You can even use Vanilla Whipped Cream (Cool Whip Brand)!
Cool completely before refrigerating the loaves. To take the Pumpkin Bread with you to Holiday Family Events, just wrap in tin foil, reheat in a 250 degree oven for 20-30 minutes...then apply the Carolina Cream Cheese Icing to the loaf...or to each slice for more frosting coverage.
Variations: Add chopped nuts to the mix. Add some white or black raisins, some candied cranberries, or even chopped prunes or dates.
Down here in the Carolinas, some country folk like to add shredded zucchini or shredded carrots to the loaves. If you don't like pumpkin, swap it out for a can of applesauce for a delightful "Carolina Spice Cake Loaf" instead.
Happy Holiday Season from DreamVest Appraisals! May your Family time together be genuine and warm as you consider the life-appraisals for the New Year's Resolutions soon to come.

SC Real Estate Appraisals - How is Your Property Value Holding Up to all the Changes?
How do I determine whether property values are increasing or decreasing?
The Lowcountry Loop | Your SC Community Newsletter
If you read national news publications like USA TODAY, they will normally report on the value of real estate as reported by the National Association of Realtors.
• The most common way that these papers report on values is the median sales price. They often report that the median sales price for the nation was up or down X% for a certain period.
• This information is applicable for many areas of the country, but it is not very specific to any one subdivision or market area.
What I am doing for South Carolina Lowcountry subdivisions is analyzing several different streams of data to give you a very good idea of what values in your subdivision are doing this year.
I will be looking at and evaluating:
• the average sales price
• the median sales price
• the average per square foot price
• and the average size of the homes that have sold in your neighborhood.
This will give you the best idea of what homes are doing in your subdivision. For example, the median price may show a 15% decline, but the average size of the homes that sold may have decreased. I will analyze all of these factors to give an accurate picture of homes in your subdivision.
I will also look at the number of listings on the market, the number of pending sales, and other factors that may affect your area.
I will be adding new articles and new subdivisions on a weekly basis. You can also post questions or comments on my message board as I will be adding information on a weekly basis.

Find Appraisers for Rural SC - Discover Ulmer, SC 29849
Ulmer, SC 29849
At the junction of US301 and US321 is the town of Ulmer. Not a lot to it besides this Post Office and the rundown little building next to it. However, that was not always the case and lil ole Ulmer has a fascinating South Carolina history!
The community now known as Ulmer goes back for many years. The surrounding lands belonged to only two persons - Ephriam Ulmer and John Williams. There are authentic records dating back to the 1700s. The ancestorial home of the John Williams family still stands. It was lived in until sometime in the 1950s. The first building was erected on the banks of the Salkehatchie River. The site was near a settlement know as Buford's Bridge - which was there prior to the Revolutionary War.
While a proper name was being decided for the town that was building around the depot, it was jokingly called "too nigh". Streets needed to be laid out for the new town, but this was going to take more of Mr. Ulmer's property. However, Mr. Ulmer agreed to reliquish extra property in exchange for the town being called "Ulmer" in his honor. This was agreed upon and the town of Ulmer got its charter on August 7, 1891.
