Recipe-Pumpkin Bread & Pumpkin Butter-Banana Bread

[Guest guest]

I get rave reviews on these every year.....and you don't even have to

sift the flour!

 

Pumpkin Bread

 

3 1/2 c flour

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp Cinnamon

1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spices

2 tsp baking soda

4 eggs

3 cups sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

2/3 c water

1 15 oz can pumpkin

Mix eggs, pumpkin, sugar, oil, water and spices. Slowly beat in

flour and baking soda. Nuts are optional. Pour into 2 greased &

floured loaf pans and bake at 350 for an hour (possibly longer

depending on your oven and what type of bread pans you use.

Pumpkin Butter

2 cans apple juice, undiluted (frozen)

3 small cans pumpkin (15 oz)

3 - 4 large jars applesauce

2 cups brown sugar

2-3 T pumpkin pie spices

Simmer for 3 to 4 hours and put into canning jars.

I was in the mood for some banana bread, but every time I fixed it,

it came out dry and hard to swallow I simply used my pumpkin

bread recipe, altering a few things:

Weigh out the 15 ounces of smashed bananas, leave out all of the

spices and add 2 Tbsp of vanilla extract, and cut back some on the

salt. All of my elderly neighbors are loving it!
