Strider Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 A recipe I thought I would share for Thanksgiving...actually, I enjoy making this all year-round. One of my most treasured and used cookbooks is The Bread Bible, and it was in this book that I discovered a scrumptious recipe for pumpkin bread and it has been my go-to recipe ever since. A warm, toasty slice slathered with cream cheese works miracles on a cold morning or evening. CREAM SHERRY PUMPKIN BREAD Servings: Makes three loaves Ingredients: 2 cups sugar 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar 3 2/3 cups fresh pumpkin puree or 29 ounces canned pumpkin puree 4 large eggs 1 cup nut oil (such as walnut, almond, or sunflower seed) 4 2/3 cups unbleached flour 1 tablespoon baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup cream sherry Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease three 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pans. 2. In a large bowl, combine the sugars, pumpkin, eggs, and nut oil. With a whisk or mixer, beat until smooth; about one minute. 3. In another large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. With a large spatula, combine the wet and dry ingredients and beat until smooth. 4. Stir in the cream sherry; vigorously beat until thoroughly blended, about 1-2 minutes; the batter will be thick and fluffy. 5. Scrape the batter into the three prepared pans, filling each no more than 3/4 full. Bake immediately in the center of the oven for 65-75 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. The tops of the loaves will be crusty and a crack will run down the center. 6. Let stand for 5 minutes in the pans before turning the loaves out onto a rack, then turning right side up to cool completely. 7. When cool, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature overnight or for up to four days before serving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some red and white whine to go with it and a coffee sweet to finish Whine? I never took you for the type, hehe. In case you don't know, 'whine' is the American vernacular for your term 'whinge'. Breakfast and college football: turkey, brie cheese, and cranberry omelette, with a side of yams. Egg nog and coffee. And a tall, cool glass of water, natch.

It's just that my repasts post-Thanksgiving have been rather ordinary...nothing special to share on the forum. Some soups, some pizza and pasta, some tacos and burritos, some salads and sandwiches. Nothing fancy or exotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
