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.
Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

I made the cupcake variation and they were very good and moist. I did cut down the amount of raisins though and substituted an equal amount of more apples (don't care for raisins). For the nuts, I used walnuts.

Just like my great grandma used to make! WONDERFUL! Do spray your pan, though. I did and it came out wonderful.
I would suggest spraying the loaf pan because it was sticking to my pans.
