  1. Very moist and flavorful. I cut recipe down to 1 loaf and only used 1 cup of the sugar. Still plenty sweet. I subbed dried cranberries for the raisins (we don't like them). Spices were just right.
     
  2. This is one of the best pumpkin bread recipes I've ever had. It came together easily, and my KitchenAid mixer didn't bat an eye at these ingredients for two loaves. I skipped the nuts since I'm taking this to work and I know a person or two who has a nut allergy. Thanks, Buzymomof3! Happy Thanksgiving! Made for PAC Fall 2012.
     
  3. This turned out very well, more a cake then bread, a platefull, buttered, disappeared quickly at morning tea. This makes 2 huge loaves, and my mixer had trouble coping with the amount of batter, infact I found creamed butter and sugar at the bottom. next time I will half the recipe. I used fresh cooked pumpkin, we dont have canned here. made for aussie swap, jan 2010
     
  4. This is a Wonderful pumpkin bread recipe. The pumpkin flavor is there but not over powering, so even those in my family who don't like it enjoyed this bread. The texture is very soft and moist...just perfect. The only change I made was to cut the amount of clove in half as I am not a huge fan of that spice. This recipe will definitely be added to my quick bread and muffin favorites cookbook. Made for the Dec. Make My Recipe Tag Game

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love trying new recipes and once a month cooking (though I don't do it as often as I'd like). I am absolutely getting hooked on the tag games! Thank you to everyone who has tried my recipes, I hope you're liking them as much as my family does! My favorite magnet is one I got from my MIL that has a bunny hopping around saying I'm to busy to be organized. Story of my life. I have three great kids who are growing up way too fast, I'm not ready for empty nest syndrome. I married a wonderful man in 2009 who took me to Alaska on our honeymoon, It was one of the top two places I've always wanted to visit (not one he really had a desire to go to). Next year he's taking me to the other one he and I both want - Australia. Guess I like places that start with A's.
