I love making sweet breads during the holidays.  This bread has all the fall flavors that you celebrate at Thanksgiving, making it a perfect addition to your menu.  

This recipe makes 2 large loaves.  Of course, you can make 4 half loaves or 8 mini loaves for gift giving.  Your family and friends will love you for it.  

I  chose to make two full size loaves.  I served one to our daughter, Nicole and her husband, when they joined us for dinner one evening.  I knew that I was going to repurpose the second loaf into an amazing dessert that I will be sharing with you on Thursday so stay tuned for that!!!
