- Here is a recipe for a Pumpkin Log (same basic concept as a jelly
- roll). It's my mother-in-law's favorite Christmas recipe:
-
- Pumpkin Log
-
- 3 eggs
- 1 c. sugar
- 3/4 c. flour
- 2/3 c. pumpkin (canned)
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
-
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix ingredients together. Line a 10" x 15
- cookie sheet with waxed paper. Pour mixture onto cookie sheet and bake
- for 15 minutes. Sprinkle powdered sugar on a clean/new dishtowel. Turn
- cake out of cookie sheet onto the dishtowel. Remove the waxed paper
- and roll cake in towel while cake is still hot. (Roll it lengthwise,
- from one 15" side to the other 15" side.) Cool completely, then
- refrigerate overnight (but no more than one day). Unroll carefully
- (it will still retain its basic curled shape), removing towel, and
- spread filling inside. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of filling, if
- desired, and re-roll. Filling recipe is below. The log can be frozen
- if wrapped tightly in aluminum foil.
