Another great recipe for pumpkin – this bread is nice and moist and keeps very well – you can store it in your refrigerator or freeze it if you make extras.But chances are it will disappear soon after you make it! The nuts or raisins you can add give it that little extra special taste – I have actually added both and it was delicious! I used chopped walnuts and golden raisins, but you could add pecan pieces or try some dried cranberries – that will my next variation!
