Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Add sugar, chopped pecans, and candied fruit to the dry ingredients and mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine beaten eggs with pumpkin, oil, and water.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and blend until just mixed.

Pour the batter into two large greased and floured loaf pans.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until loaves pull away from the sides of the pans and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
