I made small loaves of pumpkin bread for our Apples of Gold ladies a couple weeks ago. One of them requested the recipe so thought I would post it here too. I tasted pumpkin bread for the first time when I was about 16 yr. old. The lady that made it for me gave me the recipe and I was so glad that my mother made it often in the fall and winter. When I married I began making it and it is the only recipe I have ever used for pumpkin bread. I hope it becomes one of your favorite recipes!
