Pumpkin Apple Bread Recipe - Peace Corps Style!

First, you plant some pretty little seeds in the soil and wait many months for the flower, then pumpkin to develop. Then you pick it with joy! Knowing that deliciousness awaits!

Then you carve the pumpkin purely for fun and to share this weird American tradition with your Basotho neighbors. Be sure to save the seeds so you can grow more pumpkins next year and trade the seeds with neighbors!

"Mokopu Man" (Pumpkin Man)

Then shred Mokopu man into many pieces.

Smile a lot because it's messy and fun to make pumpkin bread in Lesotho!

Then add some apples to the Mokopu pot and bathe the pumpkin and apples in ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, oil and sugar and heat it up til it's nice and mushy and yummy.

The pumpkin, apple, spice mix is delicious and you should definetly taste test a few spoonfuls but this is a bread "recipe" so you'll need to mix it with some eggs, flour, baking powder and maybe some other stuff. Be sure to mix by hand because it's way more fun and messy!

Poor the mixture in a bread pan - or metal bowl, place it on top of a empty tuna can with hole poked in it, in your big pot/ "dutch oven". Pop it on top of your 2 burner propane stove put the lid on, light up the stove and in about 45min-1hr you have some yummy yummy bread!

Yummy! Hot Fresh Pumpkin Bread!
