This is a really nice moist bread. Wonderful with a cup of tea, coffee, or a big glass of milk. It says "Autumn" with every bite.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Talk about the flavors of the fall season! Pumpkin, cranberry and orange flavors make an appearance in every bite of this quick bread... and in just the right amounts. The flavor combination is amazing. We could enjoy this for dessert every night.
