Pistachio Pumpkin Bread

Pistachio Pumpkin Bread
These cute little loaves blend pumpkin, pistachio, rum and raisins with festive results. “A few years ago during the holiday season, a friend shared this delightful recipe with me,“ recalls Kathy Kittell in Lenexa, Kansas. “Since then, I’ve made it every holiday and shared it with family and friends.“ TIP: Wrap the bread in colored cellophane, tie with festive ribbon and give as a gift.
