Pumpkin Ribbon Bread Recipe
Pumpkin bread is a hearty snack or fall dessert that tastes even better when you add pecans and cream cheese.Ruth Hinz of Anamosa, Iowa, enjoys baking the bread for her 13 children and 30 grandchildren who all live close by. Her children bring most of the food for their frequent get-togethers, but Ruth always cooks the meat course and offers her pumpkin bread for dessert.
Because cooking fresh pumpkin is time consuming, Hinz uses canned pumpkin.
