Very nice bread. I omitted the raisins and the glaze to make it more like a traditional pumpkin bread. Also added 1/2 tsp. of ginger. Otherwise, I made it by the recipe, and the texture was perfect--not too gummy, not too coarse. Spiced just right, too--fragrant, but not overpowering. Remember to bake at 325 if you're using glass pans, otherwise it comes out with the crust overdone.
