Very good, esp the day after. I sauted celery and onions in the butter. Also added chopped ham. Topped the serving bowls with Cheddar cheese. Yum!!

This is almost exactly like the Pumpkin Bread our family has made for years! We use 2/3c shortening in place of the vegetable oil and I've been cutting the sugar back to 1 1/2- 1 2/3 cup rather than 2 1/2 or 3 cups. Also we about a cup each of chopped dates and chopped walnuts. Yum! We use the smaller bread pans to make more loaves to freeze or to give away to teachers, neighbors, friends, kids off to college and others.

The Brown Sugar drew me to this recipe. I've been making a similar one for years but thought it was time to change it up, see how others were making it. I really like this one tho made some changes based on preferences (and habit). I used applesauce in place of oil, only 1 cup of brown sugar (to cut back on sweetness), increased Vanilla to 1 T (not that it made much diff), & added a teaspoon of Nutmeg. I used 1 cup of chopped pecans instead of walnuts/raisins since that's what I had on hand. I made 3 smaller loaves and froze 2 to enjoy later. It was different from my usual and very good, not too sweet either : )
