I make pumpkin bread every year for Thanksgiving or Christmas. It reminds me of my mom, making it was one of her holiday traditions. Normally I make her recipe but this year, I opted for something a little different. With dried cranberries that needed to be used up, this was the perfect recipe to try! I was a little tentative, spiced rum? I'm so glad I gave this recipe a try, this bread is delicious. There's a nice hint of spice and a deep pumpkin flavor. I used my mini loaf pan, perfect for Christmas giving!
