Don't mess with perfection. if you are looking for a really good Christmas bread or anytime, this takes 1st place. i did omit raisons and nuts as I don't want any other flavors interfering with my pumpkin. Even the ends are good and was not as oily as other recipes I've tried.

Made one batch with golden raisins and one batch plain. I used applesauce instead of oil, but that's the only change I made. These came out delicious, especially with the raisins!

This is a great recipe, I used one teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice in place of the other seasonings and probably should have used a little more but it is really good.

Very good recipe. I make it without nuts or raisins, for picky family members. It was very flavorful and just the right texture. Yum. (I may have added just a tiny smidge more cloves than called for -- it's a flavor I love.)

Moist and tasty. Also made another version of the same recipe, omitting water and subbing orange juice and rind. Replaced the raisins and nuts with frozen and dried cranberries. Definitely a pair of keepers.

Doubled the recipe and made 2 big loaves. It was really delicious. I will definately make it again as is and also make it with mini chocolate chips and pecans. Very moist, great texture, not too oily.

Omit the raisins and add a large bag of milk chocolate chips. A big hit with my family.
