Honest I have made this Pumpkin Bread recipe many times & everyone always loves it. Your friends will just love to receive it as a gift from you! Of course it seems to be the most fun to make it in the fall, but you can make it anytime of the year.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Here's What You Need

• 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
• 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts

*If desired, 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice can be substituted for cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

Here's What You Do

Grease the bottom of a loaf pan

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

Combine flour with soda, salt & spices. Set aside. Cream butter; gradually add sugar, cream well. Blend in eggs & beat well at low speed with your hand mixer. Add to this the dry ingredients & the pumpkin, alternating but beginning & ending with dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the walnuts. Turned into prepared pan & sprinkle top with remaining walnuts.

Bake at 350 degrees for 65-70 minutes. Cool; Drizzle with glaze. Let stand for at least 6 hours before slicing.

Spice Glaze Recipe

Combine 1/2 cup sifted confectioners sugar,
1/8 tsp nutmeg & 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

Blend into 1 to 2 tsp of cream or milk until it has the consistency of a glaze. Spread over baked loaf.

You can wrap in fancy colored cellophane or cellophane bag. Maybe yellow for harvest time or red or green for Christmas. Add a gift tag and you are ready to go. Great to serve for a brunch or at a fall tea party. Look for an amber to serve on for fall; or a pretty Christmas plate for the holiday season.
