Cream the shortening and sugar. Beat in the eggs, and add buttermilk, along with syrup.
Measure 3 cups of flour and sift, adding in baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Add in spices, and mix well.
Grease and flour your pan/s. I used a large loaf pan, as well as 2 mini loaf pans. Bake for about 30 minutes in a slow oven (about 350 degrees). Serve while warm.
