Ruth Dueñas’ Pumpkin Bread

Contributor: Patsy Rodriguez

“She made this recipe more so during the Holidays and made quite a few batches at Christmas time to give to Family, Friends and Neighbors. Everyone loved her pumpkin Bread and always asked for her recipe and she would always share the wealth. I make it every year and do the same. I hope you also get a chance to bake up a batch.”-Patsy Rodriguez
