Very good! The bread was moist and the kids loved it! I did use a little less sugar a little more spice and scaled it down to 2 loaves as I used my pumpkin puree from the freezer which I had in 2 cup portions. Definitely will be making this often. Thanks!

    This will go down in history as the greatest bread ever to be eaten! It was wonderfully amazing in every way. I replaced the nuts with chocolate chips and used fresh pumpkin, but other than that, followed exactly as written. A man at my husband's work said "There is no way that is pumpkin, because pumpkin has never tasted so good."

    Excellent pumpkin bread. I scaled the recipe down and made only one loaf, but now I wished I made the whole recipe! I used butter instead of shortening, but otherwise followed to a "T". Loved the texture and the flavor...thanks for sharing! P.S. I needed about 60 minutes bake time.

    Fanstastic!! Great flavor and texture, my family loved it, it froze like a charm. This is going in our family favorites binder. I added raisins to 1 loaf, since my husband doesn't like nuts. Next time I'm going to try addding chocolate chips in one loaf, or an orange glaze on top of another - there's a lot you can do with this recipe - thanks for posting it!
