Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin...Bread?
The Pumpkin. Autumn's favorite squash/fruit. What do you think of when you hear the word"Pumpkin"? I think of Pumpkin pie, Jack O' Lanterns (My last post) and Pumpkin bread. Pumpkin bread? I know what you're thinking. What's that? It's a delicious half-cake half-bread dessert with a semi-strong taste of pumpkin and cinnamon with chocolate chips, raisins/crasins (cranberry-raisins), dates, walnuts and other things. Once you try it, there's no stopping the addiction. Let me tell you what we did to make this delicious treat:
- Bought pie pumpkins at local pumpkin patch (proceeds went to charity and cost less than at a grocery store)
- Cooked them down and froze them in 2-cup portions to be used for pumpkin bread and/or pumpkin pie
We got the recipe from Joy of Cooking, but added the chocolate chips and added chopped dates. This recipe is delicious plain, toasted, with butter/peanut butter, but best hot, fresh out of the oven. Try it. TRY IT. TRY IT! TRY IT! You'll love it.
I tried it and I loved it, loved it, loved it! It was the BEST and I want more!
