Moist, delicious pumpkin bread. Fantastic for Autumn. Sometimes I bake fresh pie pumpkins and scrape the innards for this recipe. You can also use 5 mini loaf pans (disposable size) for gift giving. These will bake on a cookie sheet for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. My mom gave me this recipe years ago.
