As we head towards fall, Amy Rothstein from Dona Chai has created some delicious, warming recipes.
 

Dona Chai Pumpkin Bread

 
⅔ c Dona Chai
1 ½ sticks butter (12 T)
3 T molasses
2 c sugar
4 eggs
2 c pumpkin purée
½ t baking powder
2 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 t ground cinnamon
 
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter three 9 x 5 loaf pans.

Cream the butter, molasses, and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add Dona Chai and pumpkin purée, mix well. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Slowly incorporate into the pumpkin mixture. Stir well until just combined.

Pour batter into loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for ten minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks.
