These were pretty good. I was going to rate it four stars, but first I would have to see how it is with these adjustments, which I would follow next time: as one other reviewer said, add more pumpkin and possibly more sugar--but, then, probably reduce butter so they're not overly moist. All in all, a good way to use my leftover pumpkin.

Yum! This was really good, and I wasn't even sure if I liked this combination. I did make some changes, based on reviews; I added 1/4 cup extra orange juice and two tbsp plain yogurt, for extra moisture, plus I switched half the flour to whole wheat. I'm only giving it four stars because I think it would have been dry otherwise. With these changes, it's 5 star, really tasty!

While the flavor of this was pretty good, I encountered several problems. First off, I did make substitutions--I made only one loaf and used half brown/half white sugar, and 1/4 cup apple sauce in place of oil. These were suggested, however, and when I cooked it for 45 minutes in the 9 by 5 pan, it looked great. However, the next morning when I cut it up the middle appeared not to be fully cooked. I had checked it with a toothpick, and it had come out clean. I did think this was good, though, and worth re-trying. Next time, I will: 1) drain the pineapple, 2)use (for one loaf) 1/2 cup oil (might replace it with apple sauce), 3) use a total of 1/3 cup sugar, maybe less, and finally 4) cook it shallower pan so it will cook more evenly. Just something for others to think about.
