Well, I eventually found something I could do. I mean they are taking up half of a kitchen table right now.
About the bread. . . .
There is nothing more satisfying, than picking my own pears, bringing in some farm fresh eggs, cracking some locally grown walnuts, opening a jar of home canned applesauce, opening a bottle of homemade vanilla extract, and whipping up a few loaves of bread.
The recipe is found on my blog: here
And about what I found I could do yesterday.
Roast pie pumpkins. . .
. . .and roast pumpkin seeds. Whiskey-bacon pumpkin seeds.
To Make them:
In a medium saucepan mix 1/3 cup Jack Daniel's Whiskey, 4 drops of blackstrap molasses (or regular molasses), 2 tsp. sugar, 1 1/4 tsp. salt and 1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. bacon fat. Mix. Add 1 to 1 cup pumpkin seeds. Simmer 18-20 minutes (seeds will somewhat turn gray colored), drain if needed, and bake at 275°F for 1 1/2 hours. I used my pampered chef stoneware, but you may want to line a baking sheet with foil. A baking pan with edges makes stirring these yummy treats much easier.
Update on this recipe 10/15/17: I doubled the amount of pumpkin seeds, and did not double the other ingredients (other than an extra drop or two of blackstrap molasses), and it turned out the same.
I also roasted some in dry homemade ranch dressing. I'll be honest, the whiskey bacon seeds were better. Crispy too. Yum.
