JANICE'S PUMPKIN BREAD

For Christmas, Friend Janice gave us a loaf of Pumpkin Bread. She told me it was an old recipe that she hadn't made in years. For some reason she decided to make it this year. I am so glad she did since she made us a recipient of one of the loaves this year.

This bread is so moist and light tasting. I'm sure you have eaten pumpkin bread that was heavy and dry. Trust me this recipe is not one of those. The recipe makes two large loaves or 7 mini loaves...an excellent recipe to make for gifts around Christmas.
