November is not complete without Pumpkin Bread. When I was growing up, Pumpkin Bread was often baked in tall tin cans so that the finished product of round slices was pretty for women’s clubs and gatherings. I am fine with the traditional loaf and it tastes equally as yummy. The bread freezes so well. I like to freeze several loaves to share during the season with friends and family. It’s tradition!
