Missysmom 24,975 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) I started my Thanksgiving baking today with a family favorite- Pumpkin Bread, am cooking two loaves, one for now and freezing one for Turkey day! Wanted to share the recipe if anyone wants to try it- Pumpkin Bread 1 cup canned pumpkin 2 eggs 1/2 cup oil 2 TBSP water 1 3/4 cup flour 1 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1 tsp soda 1 tsp salt (optional) Combine pumpkin, eggs, oil, and water. Mix well, sift together dry ingredients. Add pumpkin mixture and mix well. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350F for one hour and 10 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes then turn out on rack to cool completely. Makes 1 loaf Note: I gave you the real recipe but I am an impatient cook so just I throw everything into the bowl and mix and it comes out fine- no sifting either!

Jo-Anne 6,610 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Missysmom, this is not a tradition in Holland, but I am starting it as from now! Went to look for the ingredients and the only thing I could not buy was pumpkin pie spice. Can you tell me what is in there? or can I put something else spicey in it? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missysmom 24,975 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 How exciting Jo-Anne, I hope it's a tradition you'll enjoy! Pumpkin pie spice contains cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. I've never made it from scratch but found this link that will hopefully help with the measures for each: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-pie-spice-i/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sophie's Haven 17,464 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I love to bake, I have a list of subsitutes written down in my book of favorite receipes. Nothing more fustrating when your in the middle of making something and you do not have the ingredient called for. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I believe the tsp is different here also. Thanks Jeannine 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PipsMom 34,988 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Missysmom, this is not a tradition in Holland, but I am starting it as from now! Went to look for the ingredients and the only thing I could not buy was pumpkin pie spice. Can you tell me what is in there? or can I put something else spicey in it? I'm with JoAnne, I'm going to make this. Will have to mix my own spices but hey hoe.....off to the oven I'll go! I remember a lady back home...good gracious that lady could cook...anyways She made the batter as above...but made it in a cookie sheet... Then she mixed cream cheese and toasted chipped up pecans Rolled it up like a jelly roll....smear of the cream cheese icing and sprinkled with nuts. She made heaps out of the batter then wrapped them for gifts.... It was so good it lasted not one day....then all gone. Happy memories! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missysmom 24,975 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Mmmmm sounds great and thanks for the reminder Crystal, I was gonna try making a pumpkin roll for this Thanksgiving and now I don't need to look up how!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PipsMom 34,988 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Reminsin about holidays long ago......mmmmmm ......my butt grows wider just thinking about Chocolate Caramel Turtles Candy and millionaire candy..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie's Haven 17,464 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks Crystle........I forgot all about Pumpkin Roll.....I love the combination of the cream cheese and the pumpkin........think I will have to throw one together. Yummy.......Plus it freezes well.........can have some for Christmas too!!! My favorite thing at Christmas when I lived in Michigan was Brach's Chocolate Covered Cherries.......they do not carry them in the area I live now. I think I am just going to savor the memories as over the years I am sure the size of them has changed plus the flavor. They sure were good........... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PipsMom 34,988 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Oh how could I forget chocolate covered Cherrys......The ones with the liquid not the creme ....ohhh good memries. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
