YEASTED PUMPKIN BREAD
Dissolve 1 teaspoon of yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water and
let it stand while you combine 1/4 cup of molasses, 1/4 cup
of honey, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Next stir in 1-1/2
cups of pumpkin butter, 1/3 cup of water or milk, 1 cup of
whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2
teaspoon of ground cloves. Now add the y east and let the
mixture rise in a warm place for 1 or 2 hours . . . after
which you can work in 2 more cups of whole wheat flour and
1 cup of chopped hazelnuts or walnuts. Finally, spoon the
dough into a greased loaf pan ... let it rise until it
almost doubles in size . .. then bake it at 350°F for 1
hour.
PUMPKIN BUTTER PIE

honey or molasses, 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of
cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves. Then pour the
mixture into an unbaked whole wheat pie crust, and put it
in a 350°F oven until the custard sets (about 65
minutes).
BANANA-PUMPKIN MILKSHAKE
Process 2 cups of pumpkin butter, 1 cup of walnuts, and 2
cups of milk (you might try substituting whipping cream for
part of the milk) in a blender until the nuts are totally
shredded. Add 2 bananas (they're best frozen) and 2 more
cups of milk, and blend the drink thoroughly.
PUMPKIN BUTTER CAKE
Beat two egg whites until they're stiff. Next, cream 1/2
cup of melted butter and 1 cup of honey together . . . and
stir in 1 cup of pumpkin butter, 2 egg yolks, and 1-1/2
cups of whole wheat flour. Add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 1
teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 cup (or more) of chopped
walnuts, and 1 cup of raisins. Fold in the egg whites, and
bake the treat for 1 hour at 350°F in a greased and
floured 8" or 9" cakepan.
