This is the best pumpkin bread I have ever had. Very moist. The tart cranberries are a nice addition. I made as directed, though cut white sugar to 1/3 cup and added the nuts (walnuts, a half cup) right to the batter. I also added a dollop of molasses to the wet ingredients for flavor and color. A beautiful bread--well received wherever I take it. Double the recipe and make two, or you will wish you had!11/24/09

Moist and delicious from the addition of the cranberries! I love this spin on ordinary pumpkin bread and can't wait to make it again! I omitted the nuts because I didn't have any on hand and it came out great. The top began to brown quickly towards the end so I put a little tin foil over the top to prevent it from burning.01/07/07
