My Mom's Pumpkin Bread

Submitted by aimbrulee

"This is the pumpkin bread that I grew up with. It is very nice and sweet with alot of pumpkin flavor, and spice, and most importantly it is moist, This is a large recipe so you'll be able to keep a loaf for yourself and share with friends. I'm not sure of the origin of this recipe. So I'll just say it's from my mom."

Made for Fall '09 PAC. Very, very good recipe. Easy. Moist. Not sweet at all considering the 4 cups of sugar. It's a keeper for me!! Love the aroma swirling out of the kitchen and into the nooks and crannies of this old house. What a way to welcome (almost) Fall, 2009! Thanks, Aimbrulee, for sharing.
