Karen's Pumpkin Date Bread image

This is my favorite recipe around the holidays. The combinations I thought up work very well together. The recipe originally was my grandmother's. I added the dates and everyone was wild about it.

I made this bread for my family and they loved it. It's a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I will definitely be making it again.
