Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread

This pumpkin spice bread has become a September tradition in our house — the first baking of the season that signals fall has truly arrived. It is incredibly moist and stays that way for days, which makes it perfect for gifting to neighbors and friends. I use real pumpkin puree and a generous hand with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Wrapped in parchment and tied with a ribbon, it makes one of the loveliest autumn gifts you can give.
