ingredients
1 1/2 cup cooked, mashed acorn, Hubbard, butternut or other yellow-fleshed winter squash
2/3 cup butter
1 2/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
2/3 cup milk
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cup chopped raisins
directions
Puree cooked squash in blender or food processor or press through sieve.
Cream butter and sugar until blended. Beat in eggs until fluffy. Add squash and milk. Stir until blended.
Mix flour, baking powder, soda, salt, coriander, cloves and cinnamon. Add to pumpkin mixture and stir until blended. Stir in pecans.
Pour into two greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.
Tips: Freeze baked loaves if you cannot use them the same day as they are baked. To serve, reheat in microwave oven on high speed for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or in 300 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
For a special treat at breakfast, toast thick slices slightly.

Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This is a delicious and light tasting loaf. It was a real hit and I will make it again any time I have a winter squash. I used a turban squash which gave be exactly the right amount of squash for the recipe.

This bread was very good. Not too moist like breads of this type usually are. I omitted the cloves and added 1/2 teasp. ea. to the ground coriander and cinnamon. Very good warmed in the toaster oven, and topped with cream cheese.
