1 tea spoon ground cinnamon
1 tea spoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

The instructions were:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 7x3 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water, and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk, together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves,  and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.
3. Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaf is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
