Nov. 13, 2008 - A Homemade Christmas!

Sorry I have not been doing this I just never seem to get on here on Thursdays.

Today I am going to do it.

This year for each family I know for there Christmas gift I am going to give a loaf of my pumpkin bread along with some pumpkin seeds.

Here is how I make it.

First you start out with a pumpkin.

Then You scrape out the guts and seeds.

Then place the halfs of the pumpkin in a baking dish upside down bake at 350 for about a hour or untill the pumpkin meat is mushy.

They scrape out the meat place into a bowl and smash it. This is befor I mashed the meat.

Here is after.

Here are the seeds!

I rinse the seeds and let them soak in water and sea salt over night is best.

Then you drain the water,sprinkle salt on them an bake at 100 or 150 for about 1 to 2 hours untill the seads are crunchy.We eat the entire seed shell and all.

Then for the pumpkin bread This is not my recipe I misplaced it but this recipe is symalar.I will post my reipe when I find it.

Take 3 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2/3 cup vegtable oil
2 cups cooked pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
3-1/3 cups all-purpose flour

Mix all ingredients together grease pans or soup cans that is what I use sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture in pans make sure coated well.

Bake at 375 for 1 hour or untill done.

The one in the picture has nuts in it if you want to add nuts about a half a cup is good.

a little girl once told me "The best gifts are the homemade gifts because they are made with drops of love" And it is TRUE!!

Hi,

Mmm that looks really good! I love making homemade pumpkin bread, but I have to confess I have never actually cooked the pumpkin myself! We usually just use the canned store-bought kind. But that sounds like a great idea!

Thanks for the comment. In my piano recital I am playing several duets called, Prime Time (Eugenie Rocherolle) Chatterbox Polka (I forget!) and March for Joel (Eugenie Rocherolle again!). They are a lot of fun. In violin I am playing the Gavotte by Gossec in Suzuki book 1. I am actually further along then that piece, but my teacher wanted me to stick with a song that I knew really well!

In Christ,
Christine
