spiced pumpkin bread

Delicious and easy-to-make quick bread. This epicurious recipe is very highly rated, yet the comments made consistent suggestions. I followed those suggestions - reducing sugar from 3 to 2 cups, adding a bit of extra pumpkin, and adjusting the spices (less ground cloves and additional ground ginger). We also added both walnuts and chocolate chips (1C ea for 2 loaves). For some batches, we also added a bit of molasses.

Last spring I purchased a little pumpkin plant for my husband. He planted it in the compost heap, and in fall, harvested more than 15 large blue-colored pumpkins (australian). They are the most delicious pumpkins I've cooked, and we are having fun putting them to use.
