PEANUT BUTTER PUMPKIN DIP WITH CINNAMON CHIPS



Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dip With Cinnamon Chips image

Couldn't be easier! Peanut butter and pumpkin go great together. Simple and quick to put together. This is not a super sweet dip but pairs well with the sugared chips. You could always add more honey if you want it sweeter. This would also be great served with graham crackers or apples. Cook time is per each pan of chips. Entered for RSC #13.

Provided by IHeartDogs

Categories     Dessert

Time 24m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (not natural-style)
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/8 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (12 ounce) package pita bread (I used the 7 inch size)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • For the dip, put peanut butter, pumpkin, honey and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a small food processor.
  • Process until well blended. (It will have a slightly whipped texture). If you don't have a food processor use an electric hand mixer, or mix by hand, but a processor will likely give the best result.
  • Split pita breads in half so you have two rounds from each pita. The easiest way I found to do this was to cut the pita in half then pull the halves apart. Use a pizza cutter to cut into triangles (they don't have to be perfect -- just rip them into pieces if you want).
  • Make cinnamon-sugar by combining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small bowl.
  • Lay pita triangles on cookie sheet in one layer, rough side up, spray lightly with cooking spray, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Bake for 7-9 minutes, until chips are browned and crisp. Watch carefully, as they can burn in just one minute too long. In my oven, 9 minutes was perfect.
  • Remove from oven, let cool, repeat with remaining chips and serve with dip.
  • If not serving right away, refrigerate dip and store chips in a well sealed container or storage bag.
  • If you have cinnamon-sugar left, make cinnamon toast or add it to your coffee!

CARAMEL FROSTED PUMPKIN COOKIES WITH BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS



Caramel Frosted Pumpkin Cookies With Butterscotch Chips image

I think I found this recipe in a Glamour Girl magazine in the 70s. It is family favorite at Thanksgiving and Christmas - rich, moist and yummy! Store in a covered container (if you have any left). I sometimes make smaller cookies and if so, the dough will make 6 dozen -- just adjust baking times accordingly.

Provided by CAFrogley

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 4-5 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin (not quite a full can)
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butterscotch chips
3 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Cream together shortening and 1 cup sugar. Note: I have recently experimented by substituting 1/4 cup of the shortening for a healthy, butter-flavored margarine -- using all butter or margarine tends to make the cookies spread out and not hold their shape, however). Add pumpkin and egg and cream lightly until fluffy (I usually use a hand mixer for this).
  • Combine flour, soda, cinnamon and salt; mix into cream mixture. (I usually switch to a wooden spoon, to keep the mixture light and fluffy -- you don't want to overbeat).
  • Fold in butterscotch chips.
  • Drop by teaspoons on an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until done (I sometimes find it takes a little longer, depending on humidity, the size of the cookie, etc.). Refrigerate remaining dough, covered, while other cookies are baking.
  • In the meantime, make the frosting: combine the butter and milk in a small saucepan and cook until sugar is dissolved (or, you can cook in the microwave, about 30 seconds+/-). Let cool for several minutes (mixture will be still be warm). Stir in the powdered sugar, sifted, then add vanilla; whisk well until smooth.
  • Frost cookies fresh out of the oven and while frosting is still somewhat warm; frosting will harden as it sits out; if necessary, reheat for a few seconds in the microwave until pliable again and/or add a few more drops of milk and restir.

PUMPKIN CHIPS



Pumpkin Chips image

I have not made this, but it's hard to find safe canning recipes using pumpkin, so I thought I'd post it. The USDA does not recommend canning pumpkin puree, even in a pressure canner, but currently says pressure canning of cubed pumpkin is safe. This treatment is something completely different. It's from Canning for a New Generation by Liana Krissoff, published in 2010. She says, "...they're preserved in a very heavy syrup and are cooked in the syrup until translucent and completely saturated with sugar...they're essentially candied. Don't rush the long simmer in the syrup." The recipe is verbatim, so any questions about it should be addressed to the author or her publisher. She suggests serving this preserve alongside ..."rich buttered biscuits or cakes, or as a "spoon sweet", a small but elegant treat at the end of a meal, similar to those served in the Middle East." The preparation and cooking times are my estimates.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 7 half-pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs pie pumpkin (about 4 small)
5 cups sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 piece star anise
6 lemons

Steps:

  • Cut the pumpkins in half and scrape out the seeds and stringy mess. Use a vegetable peeler to peel them, then cut each half into 4 pieces and cut them crosswise into1/16-inch-thick slices. Layer in a wide, 6 to 8 quart preserving pan with the sugar, cinnamon and star anise.
  • Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice through a sieve over the pumpkin mixture; reserve the lemon hulls. Toss to combine, then cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Use a sharp knife or spoon to scrape the membranes and flesh out of the lemon hulls, then cut the rinds into thin slices. Put in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, cook for five minutes, then drain. Repeat the boiling and the draining 2 more times, then stir the lemon rinds into the pumpkin mixture.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer briskly until the pumpkin slices are evenly translucent, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • PREPARE FOR WATER-BATH CANNING: Wash the jars and keep them hot in the canning pot, and put the flat lids in a heatproof bowl.
  • Ladle boiling water from the canning pot into the bowl with the lids. Using a jar lifter, remove the hot jars from the canning pot, carefully pouring the water from each one back into the pot, and place them upright on a folded towel. Drain the water off the jar lids.
  • Ladle the hot pumpkin and syrup into the jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace at the top.Use a damp paper towel to wipe the rims of the jars, then put a flat lid and ring on each jar, adjusting the ring so it's just finger-tight. Return the jars to the water in the canning pot, making sure the water covers the jars by at least one inch.Bring to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes to process. Remove jars to a folded towel and do not disturb for 12 hours. After 1 hour, check that the lids have sealed by pressing down on the center of each; if it can be pressed down, it hasn't sealed, and the jar should be refrigerated immediately. Label the sealed jars and store.
