Shaker Pumpkin Sweet Bread

450.  Pumpkin is a great source of beta-carotene and nutrients that protect and support the heart such as vitamins A, B1, B6, and C, copper, fiber, folate, and manganese.  It is best to obtain these nutrients from food like pumpkin and not from supplements, because it may help lower your risk of heart disease.

This great recipe has been at the top of my list of favorites for many years and I know you will find it a favorite as well.  It is Shaker Pumpkin Loaves found in one of my most favorite cookbooks,  The American Country Inn and Bed and Breakfast Cookbook by Kitty and Lucian Maynard.

I love, love, love these cookbooks and rarely are disappointed with any recipe.

Here is my version of the Shaker Pumpkin Sweet Bread:

I love to pull frozen pumpkin from the freezer all year long and make these sweet loaves.  The recipe always turns out perfect.
