Pumpkin Swirl Bread
This combination of pumpkin, nuts and dates makes a delicious, golden bread. The surprise inside—a rich creamy swirl—is like a luscious layer of cheesecake in each slice. —Cindy May, Troy, Michigan

Best bread i ever made! everyone loved it.
This was a huge hit for Thanksgiving !!!! Thank you absolutely great......This from now on,will be a must..... Not just for holidays
I'm going to make this looks yummy
Pretty good. Looking for Thanksgiving breads and pies to try on my family. This one comes close to what I'm seeking, but I don't have long to get it right. This is at the top of the list; very good in taste, moist, presentation and yummy
Yum! can't wait to try this!! This is another one of my favorite fall pumpkin recipes.
This pumpkin swirl bread is very Moist and delicious . My family loved it.
Taste is very good, however I used the pans recommended plus another small pan and it overflowed onto the bottom of my oven. I will experiment with larger bread pans next time, or add two more small pans. The cream cheese layer is thick and moist. Loved the added dates, nuts, and raisons. I omitted the frosting as it is sweet enough without.
This recipe is superb. My family enjoys this year round but it is great for the holidays and my family always looks forward to it.
I have made this bread numerous times & leave out the cloves as they overpower the taste. I also leave out the dates and sometimes leave out the walnuts. I've never made the topping. If you love cream cheese, you will love this bread. It freezes great!
I make this recipe every thanksgiving and give them away to family members for Christmas, it's everyone's favorite. A wonderful, wondeful recipe. So decedent and creamy, great for a midnight treat or a morning sweet.
