PUMPKIN ROLL

Shannon Greenhalgh

Wet: Dry:

3 eggs ¾ cup flour

1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder

⅔ cup canned pumpkin 2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 ½ teaspoon nutmeg

½ teaspoon cloves

½ teaspoon salt

Mix each separately with a whisk, then combine.  Spray a cookie sheet and then cover with parchment or wax paper and spray again.  Spread cake mixture evenly and bake at 375˚ for 13-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.  Remove from oven and turn over on a towel dusted with powdered sugar, dust top with more powdered sugar and roll up (how I get the cake out:  when the cake comes out, dust with powdered sugar, lay the towel on top, put another sheet pan on top of the towel, and then flip over – the cake and towel will now be on top of the sheet pan – remove the parchment paper, sprinkle with more powdered sugar and roll up).  Let cool completely.  Unroll, spread with filling and roll back up.  Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate.  Top with whipped cream, nuts, caramel, or nothing at all!  Enjoy!

Filling:

1 cup powdered sugar 4 ounces butter, melted

6 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix well and spread on pumpkin roll.

CINNAMON CHRISTMAS ALMONDS

Gale Dredge

1 cup water

2 cups sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon (Lori used tablespoons)

4 cups almonds

Stir first three ingredients until dissolved in a large nonstick frying pan.  Turn heat to medium and bring to a rolling boil, stirring continuously.  When boiling good, add almonds and stir continuously (approximately 5-7 minutes) until it begins to thicken.  As soon as it starts to thicken add 1 teaspoon vanilla and continue stirring with a wooden spoon until the sauce begins to crystallize and stick to the nuts.  After nuts are well coated with the crystallized sugar, dump them onto a cookie sheet covered with wax paper and continue to stir to coat well and separate nuts.
