Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail. On behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to make
this delicious spicy pumpkin bread. Our first step before we start mixing up our pumpkin
bread is we are going to soak our raisins. You want to use golden raisins not black raisins
because these are not quite as dried out and they are a little bit sweeter. If you can
get in the bag more quickly that helps too, what the soaking is going to do is add a little
bit more moisture to the raisins
and just plump them up a little bit. We are going to soak them in orange juice so it will
also add a little bit more flavor. You want one cup of raisins and you're just going to put them in a bowl
take some orange juice. It's not a set amount of orange juice that you need you just want
to pour in enough so that they are covered. You don't want them floating in it you just
want them covered so they can soak up some of that juice. Then we are just going to let
this sit a little bit you can see they are just barely covered and we'll start working
on the rest of our pumpkin bread.
