SPICED PUMPKIN BREAD

This is an absolutely delicious pumpkin bread recipe. Bar none!. It was originally found in a 1995 edition of Bon Appétit magazine. However, Here is one caveat-The original recipe called for 3 cups sugar, which is too much for my taste. So,in my opinion and if you like, this recipe takes alterations and changes beautifully. It's not necessarily, necessary. I'm just sayin'.
