Grandma Kate’s Pumpkin Bread Recipe (the perfect, affordable present for friends, teachers and colleagues)
Notice I didn’t saw low fat. Or low sugar. Or healthy.
I’m talking sweet, delicious pumpkin bread with a buttery, pretty glaze on top.
I don’t really bake. But this recipe is handed down to me by my mom, who also doesn’t really bake. And if she can do it, so can I. My mom bakes dozens of these loaves of pumpkin bread and freezes them. Then she hands them out to friends and colleagues in the days before Christmas. She is famous for this, and folks look forward to her pumpkin bread with great anticipation. And I get to imagine her as domestic for a mere moment, but then the image is gone.
So I am trying it this year. It is a nice affordable present for people, one they are bound to enjoy. It’s not from Wal-Mart. Not imported from China, at the Christmas Tree Shop for 2.99. It’s straight from Grandma Kate (minus the shortening) to your kitchen, friends and family. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. And your kids can help you make it. Check out the picture of my oldest stirring the batter.
(It is much better to double this recipe. You’ll want two loaves anyway, and then you don’t have to worry about using up the rest of a can of pumpkin.)
