A wonderful pumpkin bread, with spices, raisins, and chopped walnuts. This is a good quick bread to bake and freeze for later. Freeze individual slices and take them out for holiday guests.

The pumpkin bread was easy to put together, no oil. I added a little extra sugar. It was moist and delicious!
