This is a recipe from my Grandma Ronnie’s cookbook. Her sister, whom we called, Aunt Marj, was a phenomenal bread baker. I modified her recipe slightly by adding the pecan and ginger snap crust— OMG. Pumpkin Heaven. Slather a little salted butter on that hot bread—- LIGHTS OUT. I made it for my segment on The Weather Channel this morning and the crew completely devoured it! Sign of a successful recipe if all you have are crumbs to clean up!
