I made this for my Bible Study and they absolutely loved it. And the best part was my husband who doesn't like pumpkin thought it was great!

This is a wonderful bread...moist and delicious. I've given it as a gift many times and it always gets rave reviews and recipe requests. I've even ran out of dates and substituted dried cranberries. It was equally yummy.
