Recipe: Pumpkin Bread

Sunday, November 11, 2007 | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post
This one is different from the one I made last year...

I made a few loaves on Thursday when I taught the recipe to some Norwegian friends who had never tried anything with pumpkin and had never tasted cranberry sauce either. We had a nice time and everyone made two loaves.

Anyway... the flavor is wonderful - not too sweet, not bland - good pumpkin flavor. And, almost 4 days later and they are still really moist and delicious. If you're not a fan of nutmeg, you can decrease or leave out that. The bread does have a very distinctive nutmeg flavor. I'll probably reduce it by half the next time I make this.
