 Pumpkin Bread

 

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1 cup fresh or canned pumpkin puree

3 eggs 1 cup sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 cup raisins

2 1/3 cups Bisquick

Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan.

 

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon. Pour

the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Test with a knife-if

the knife comes out clean, the bread is ready. If not, put back in the oven

for another 5-10 minutes. Cool before removing from the pan. Keep in a

plastic bag, in a cover dish in a cool location or in the refrigerator.

 

When you are ready to serve, cut into slices, then cut out slices with a

pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter and spread with cream cheese or jam.

 Choco Lanterns

 

12 miniature pumpkins

1 cup sugar

2/3 cup cocoa powder

4 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

5 cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Cut the tops off the pumpkins and remove most of the interior with a sharp

knife. Then scoop to even out the inside.

 

In a bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt. Add the milk

gradually as you mix with a wooden spoon. Pour into a saucepan and cook over

medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens. Now add the

vanilla and mix again. Remove from the heat and pour into the hallowed-out

pumpkins. Chill until ready to serve.
