These cute little loaves blend pumpkin, pistachio, rum and raisins with festive results. “A few years ago during the holiday season, a friend shared this delightful recipe with me,“ recalls Kathy Kittell in Lenexa, Kansas. “Since then, I’ve made it every holiday and shared it with family and friends.“ TIP: Wrap the bread in colored cellophane, tie with festive ribbon and give as a gift.
Ingredients:
1 package (14 ounces) pumpkin quick bread/muffin mix
2 eggs
1 cup water
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
glaze:
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon rum extract
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the bread mix, eggs, water, oil and extract just until blended. Stir in raisins and pistachios. Transfer to three greased 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans.
2. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water and butter. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in extract.
4. Remove loaves from pans to wire racks. With a toothpick, poke holes in the top of each loaf; brush with glaze. Cool completely. Yield: 3 mini loaves (4 slices each).
