This bread is perfectly delightful without the glaze.
But if you want to take it over the top and impress both yours and your family’s taste buds, add the glaze.

I’m so excited to try this recipe. Sweet Tomatoes has a pumpkin cranberry muffin that I LOVE it and have always wanted a recipe to make it at home. I think is going to come very close. I can’t wait to spend some time on your site too. Love the name!
Thank you Glynnis! I love your name! 🙂
Myra, thanks for a great sounding recipe!! I have a large stock pile of pumpkin
and needed a new treat for my family and friends to try. Will be baking it this
weekend.
Wow!! Soooo good! Well… at least the caramel glaze. 🙂 I used my own recipe for pumpkin bread (my kids don’t like nuts in it), but added the glaze. It’s heavenly!! I received hugs and praises from my kids. Thanks for posting!
Wonderful Lori! I’m so glad y’all enjoyed the glaze!! 🙂
That looks fabulous! But, I am not supposed to have a lot of salt. Would it hurt the recipe to use less, I am wondering?
Thanks!
🙂
I think you could cut the salt a bit and it should work out okay. 🙂 It might not rise much, but the flavor should still be delish.
Going to make this today. Looked so good but I had to travel around Edinburgh (Scotland) to find the pumpkin. Finally found two cans (last ones) in a speciality shop. xoxo
Thanks Myra! I made this recipe on Saturday and I LOVE it! So moist. This will defnitely become a regular for me. I didn’t make the glaze because I was giving a loaf to some friends that were traveling. I didn’t think they wanted sticky fingers. It was great without the glaze. I can’t imagine how wonderful it will be when I add that next time. 🙂
I was going to make this recipe last saturday, but Kroger won’t get their pumpkin in until the end of Sept. Will have to make it then. Sounds delicious.
This was a big hit at my mother’s retirement home! I made it, last weekend in five small loaves, and, took it to my mom to share with friends at the home. The one man who says he loves pumpkin bread and thought it was the best he ever had.
I’m going to try this for are guest on Saturday. I’m need a recipe for Pumpkin spice Bread and using Sugar substitute lime Splendor. Thank you very much and I do enjoy preparing your recipes for my family.
Yum! Think I will make some muffins with this recipe!!
