I hope you like my sweet potato bread recipe as much as I do. The combination of tangy pineapple with this spicy sweet loaf is delicious! —Diane Goss, Chester, Virginia

Fogot to mention that I always substitute the oil for applesauce and use about 1/2 the sugar. The consistency and flavor are still wonderful and you save calories.

I make this bread often - everyone loves it. Sometimes I add1/4 tsp of Allspice and substitute orange juice for the water. I've also added in cranberries. This is a great recipe!

This was delicious! Super tasty and comforting. The pineapple butter really made the flavors come together. Mine baked ~10 minutes longer than expected. Yum!

The pineapple butter compliments the bread. It was a big hit during a family gathering.

This bread is really delicious, but I think it's too much batter for just one loaf. Mine expanded quite a bit out of the top of the pan and the center took much longer than the stated cooking time to get done. Next time, I'll split it into two loaves. We weren't crazy about the pineapple butter, either - The taste wasn't great, and the consistency wasn't attractive. Maybe I did something wrong? My family preferred a pineapple cream cheese mixture I made for it. Anyway, the bread itself is wonderful and I'll definitely make it again with those modifications.
