Ingredients


• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup molasses
• 1 cup unsalted grass-fed butter
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• 4 ½ cups flour, more for rolling dough
• Icing and candies for decoration, optional

Directions


1. In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, molasses, and butter. Place over medium-low heat and stir until mixture is melted.

2. Remove from heat and mix in baking soda and 1/4 cup cold water. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.

3. Add egg, salt, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves and stir well. Add 4 cups flour and mix well—adding more if dough seems sticky.

Locations CA California Red Wine 750ML

Provided with a wide assortment of microclimates and soil profiles to exploit, California can be a winemaker's dream. We navigated the famed appellations of Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and the Sierra foothills to reach our goal of creating a blend that showcases the best of the Golden State. <br><br> <b>Blend</b><br> Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Syrah, Malbec, Grenache <br><br> <b>Winemaker Notes</b><br> A diverse set of aromas present themselves—blueberry compote, maraschino cherries, brambly raspberry and a touch of licorice and tomato leaf. The palate is silky smooth, almost slippery, with bursting flavors of ripe strawberry, red plum, kirsch and graham cracker. Chalky tannins and a long-structured finish round out the wine. <br><br> <b>Aging</b><br> Barrel aged 10 months in French oak barrels
Brancaia TRE Red Blend V21 750ML

sale price $22.99
TRE stands for its three grape varieties Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as for its three Tuscan vineyards (Maremma, Castellina and Radda in Chianti). The assemblage is dominated by Sangiovese with 70 percent, but Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon also bring their charm with 15% each. This well-structured, medium-bodied wine is aged for twelve months before it is bottled. Two thirds of the expansion takes place in French tonneaux and one in cement. This elegant, well-structured cuvée offers plenty of drinking pleasure now or later and goes well with every kitchen. “There is no better entry-level wine than this,” says Monica Larner (for Robert Parker) with reference to the TRE 2014. And James Suckling states: “Really delicious, really juicy, with wonderful aromas of red fruits.” <br><br> Ideal with: pasta and rice dishes, light roasted or sautéed meat, poultry, fried or grilled fish. Our favorite: with Vitello Tonnato with fresh capers.
