WARNING! Cakes and quick breads (nonyeast) breads) may, at this time, only
be made in the Zojirushi, National SDBT6N or Panasonic SDT6P machines. Do
not attempt making these in any other machines as the results will
fail.....

This recipe uses selfrising flour. If substituting allpurpose flour, add
1 One half tsp. of baking powder and One half tsp. salt for each cup of flour used.
If you are using a National or Panasonic machine, all ingredients are mixed
together prior to placing in the pan for baking. Any ingredients listed
following asterisks are to be mixed in last and only until blended. As you
must tell the machine how long to bake the quick breads/cakes, the times
are given in each recipe.....

If using the Zojirushi, place the ingredients in the machine in the order
given. Any ingredients listed following asterisks are to be added at the
"Beep". As the machine is preprogrammed to turn off when the cakes/quick
breads are completely baked, you may ignore the baking times....

BAKE for 40 minutes..... To prepare fresh pumpkin puree, simply cut pumpkin
in half, removing stem, pulp and seeds. Cut pumpkin in to four to five inch
squares and place in boiling waater until soft and fork pierces easily.
Drain off water and puree pumpkin in food processor or blender. Pumpkin is
easily placed in ziploc bags, premeasured into one or two cups, and keep
frozen until required for baking....

PERSONAL NOTE From Ursula R. Taylor I got the following note from Sandy
Hansen on NVN Food & Wine Board note #110377.....Another way to make
pumpkin puree is to take the pumpkin and cut it in half, remove stem, pulp
and seeds also. Then place it in the microwave and cook on high for 10
minutes. Take it out with oven mits as it will be very HOT.

Scrape out the soft flesh. If it is still to hard, place back in microwave
for another 5 to 10 minutes. Keep this up until all of the flesh has been
scraped out. Place the flesh in a blender and puree. Will not heat up the
house as bad this way.....Signed Sandy in St. Louis...
