  Recipe by: Better Homes and Gardens New Crockery Cooker In small bowl
combine flour, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice; set aside.       In med.
mixing bowl combine brown sugar and oil; beat till well   combined. Beat in
eggs. Add pumpkin; mix well. Add flour mixture.   Beat just until combined.
Stir in raisins.       Pour pumpkin mixture into 2 well-greased and floured
1/2-pint   straight-sided canning jars. Cover jars tightly with greased foil.
Place   a piece of crumpled foil in 3-1/2 or 4 qt. crockery cooker with
liner   in place. Place jars atop crumpled foil.       Cover; cook on high
setting for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours or until a   wooden toothpick inserted near
centers comes out clean.       Remove jars from cooker; cool 10 minutes in
jars. Remove bread from   jars. Cool thoroughly on wire rack.    Makes 2
loaves.       FOR 3-1/2 to 4 QUART CROCKPOTS--Halve all ingredients.
WARNING: Use only CANNING JARS for this recipe. Others may not be   tempered
to withstand the heat.  Do NOT use coffee or vegetable cans   as most
contain lead and are painted or sealed with materials that   may give off
toxic gases when heated.       This recipe doesn't say you can seal them up
and store them in your   pantry but my Kerr Canning book recipe says you
can; here's how:       Remove jars from the oven one at a time, wipe rim of
jar clean; put   on lid and ring and screw on tightly.       Jars will seal
as the cake cools.  Store like canned goods.       If you'll be giving these
as gifts, take a piece of decorative cloth   (about 1-inch larger in
circumference than the lid or as large as   you'd like) and put it on top of
the lid, then screw on the ring.   Make sure you screw the lid on very
tightly. I like to use pinking   shears to cut the cloth out with.

This Thanksgiving, why not give smooth and creamy Pumpkin Dip instead of the traditional pies and breads!
This quick and easy recipe yields plenty for several gifts. A hollowed-out miniature pumpkin and antique canning jars are just two of the many types of containers you can use for presenting the dip.  Add a bag of gingersnaps, and you've got a gift that anyone will be thankful for!
