Pumpkin and ginger are so compatible that to use them in one recipe makes this quick bread doubly delicious. This is my favorite bread during the holiday season because these old-fashioned flavors evoke warm memories of times past.

Very good...I saw previous reviews that it tasted too much like molasses, so I substituted part of the molasses with honey, but it didn't really taste like gingerbread. Next time I will use the full amount of molasses. But still, a very good pumpkin bread recipe!

The molasses was a little overpowering. I think I was expecting more of a pumpkin/ginger taste but I taste the molasses more than anything. The consistency turned out nicely, though. It was nice and moist.
