RECIPES<br />

Pumpkin Roll<br />

• 3 eggs<br />

• 1 cup sugar<br />

• 1 tsp lemon juice<br />

• 3/4 cup flour<br />

• 1 tsp. baking powder<br />

• 2 tsp. cinnamon<br />

• 1 tsp. ginger<br />

• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg<br />

• 1/2 tsp. salt<br />

• 1 cup nuts, chopped<br />

• 2/3 cup pumpkin powdered sugar<br />

FILLING<br />

• 1 cup powdered sugar<br />

• 8 oz. cream cheese<br />

• 4 tsp. margarine or butter<br />

• 1/2 tsp. vanilla<br />

Beat eggs at high speed for 5 minutes. Add sugar<br />

gradually. Stir in pumpkin and lemon juice. Mix<br />

all dry ingredients together in separate bowl. Add<br />

to pumpkin mixture. Mix well. Spread in greased<br />

and floured jelly roll pan. Top with nuts. Bake at<br />

375 for 15 minutes. Turn out on cloth sprinkled<br />

with powdered sugar. Start at side and roll up towel<br />

and cake. Let cool completely.<br />

Beat all filling ingredients together until smooth.<br />

Unroll the cake. Spread the filling on cake. Roll<br />

back up (without the towel). Wrap in waxed paper<br />

and then with foil. Chill. Best if prepared the day<br />

before and allowed to chill overnight. Keep<br />

refrigerated.<br />

Hershey Bar Pie<br />

• 18 to 20 large marshmallows<br />

• 7 Hershey bars with almonds<br />

• 1/3 cup milk<br />

• 16 oz. Cool Whip<br />

• 1 graham cracker crust<br />

Combine marshmallows, Hershey bars (break<br />

them into small pieces) and milk in a double boiler<br />

or microwave safe dish. Heat on low until melted.<br />

Stir until everything is combined. Add 1/2 of the<br />

Cool Whip. Mix well and spoon into graham<br />

cracker crust.<br />

Let chill for several hours. Top with the rest of the<br />

Cool Whip and shave chocolate over the top.<br />

Butterscotch<br />

Haystacks<br />

• 1-2/3 cups butterscotch morsels<br />

• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter<br />

• 1 8.5 oz. can or 2 5 oz. cans of chow mein<br />

noodles<br />

• 3-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows<br />

Line trays with wax paper. Microwave morsels in<br />

large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on medium<br />

high power for 1 minute; stir. The morsels may<br />

retain some of their original shape. If necessary,<br />

microwave at additional 10 to 15 second intervals,<br />

stirring just until morsels are melted. Stir in the<br />

peanut butter until well blended. Add chow mein<br />

noodles and marshmallows; toss until all ingredients<br />

are coated. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto<br />

prepared trays.<br />

You may also add a 1/2 cup of chopped nuts,<br />

either peanuts or pecans if you like.<br />

Dill Pickle Dip<br />

• 8 oz. of cream cheese, softened<br />

• Chopped dill pickles, preferably a spicy or<br />

garlic variety (about half a jar of the spears)<br />

• 1 to 2 Tbsp. of juice from the jar<br />

• 1 small sweet onion, chopped<br />

• 1 tsp garlic powder<br />

• 1 to 2 tsp of dill (fresh or dried)<br />

• Tabasco to taste (optional)<br />

Chop pickles and onion. Mix all ingredients in a<br />

large bowl. Cover and let set in refrigerator for at<br />

least two hours, preferably overnight. You may<br />

need to add a little more pickle juice if it is too<br />

thick. Serve with chips.<br />

Sweet Potato<br />

Dumplings<br />

• 1½ cups sugar<br />

• 1 Tbsp. Karo syrup<br />

(add a little more to make more syrupy)<br />

• 2 cups water<br />

• 1 stick margarine<br />

• cinnamon<br />

• 1/2 pkg. sweet potato patties<br />

(sliced yams in freezer case)<br />

• 1 can Grands flaky biscuits<br />

Mix and boil first four ingredients for 10 minutes.<br />

Add a little cinnamon. Half the biscuits and put<br />

potato patty inside. Gently pinch the edges to seal.<br />

Do not mash the top of biscuits.<br />

Place in casserole dish and pour boiled mixture<br />

over it. Bake at 375 until brown on top about 20<br />

to 25 minutes. You will have enough potato patties<br />

for two recipes if you double the other ingredients.<br />

A single batch will make 8.<br />
