It's getting that time of year to start baking and cooking for the crowds.
How do you make your Pumpkin Pie? I use the One-Pie Pumpkin and I also make Squash Pie which is more of my personal favorite. I follow the directions on the back of the can. It is classic and loved in many areas of New England.
Before we start with the pie baking though. Now is a good time to finish up your jellies, jams and relishes.
Here's my crab apple jelly from a few years ago. I hung the mixture suspended in cheesecloth over a pot until dripped out, Then cooked up and canned in small jars.
Here's a nice healthy Cranberry Orange Bread from my Mom, excellent for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 orange juice and grated rind
2 Tbsp shortening
boiling water
1 egg, beaten
1 cup chopped cranberries
1 cup chopped nuts
Sift together two times, the flour, salt, soda, baking powder and sugar.
In a measuring cup, place juice and grated rind of 1 orange. Add 2 tbsp shortening and enough boiling water to make 3/4 cup liquid.
Blend liquid into dry ingredients. Add beaten egg, cranberries and nutmeats. Mix well. Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake in 350 degree oven about 1 hour.
Delicious. Makes great gifts too!
