Pumpkin Bread
- Details
Yay! Pumpkin season has arrived, and we’re kicking it off with pumpkin bread. This recipe is delightfully moist, with a velvety crumb and heavenly spice. Pumpkin bread is a wonderful seasonal treat for breakfast, snacking or dessert. These loaves are not too sweet, and the combination of Kashmiri Garam Masala and Grand Marnier is delicious. The recipe makes two loaves and conveniently uses a single can of pumpkin purée. They come together quick and easy and you can mix up the spice and liquor pairings in all kinds of creative ways.

Do you think your Sri Lankan curry blend would work in this recipe in place of the Garam Masala?
I don’t see why not. What I would do is to make the batter without the curry, add about half of amount of spices that the recipe calls for, then taste the batter. If you can’t taste much of the curry, then add the rest of that amount. Remember – there are chiles in the Sri Lankan Curry, so tasting the batter will be key to make sure that it’s not too spicy. (Although that would be good, too.) I’ve used the Kashmiri Curry in making pumpkin pie, so that one would be good, as well. Any spice or blend that goes well with pumpkin or squash would work.
