For the pumpkin cookie recipe I wouldn't suggest trying jalapeño, stick to ground spices. But, hey if you do try it, let me know how it goes, you never know.

1 1/2 cups cider or apple juice
2 Tablespoons brown sugar

- Melt butter in bottom of 3-4 quart saucepot. Sauté onion for 2-3
minutes, until beginning to soften.

minutes, adding broth as needed to keep mixture from sticking.

together well. Add apple juice, sugar, salt, pepper and half and
half.

and cook for about 4 minutes, being careful that mixture doesn’t

Just before serving, turn heat back up and bring back to a
gentle simmer. Serve hot.
A favorite holiday recipe, I'm sure your family will love this slightly fiery pumpkin bread recipe.
This pumpkin recipe makes two small bread loaves. So, I suggest that you make one with jalapeño and one without. Either way, you will love this pumpkin bread recipe.
Pumpkin Bread Recipe
Ingredients:3 cups Sugar
4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin
1 cup oil
3 1/3 cup flour
2 tsp Baking Soda
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
1/8 tsp mace
1/8 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ginger
1 cup nuts, choppped (optional)
1/4 cup jalapeño, chopped (optional)
1/3 cup water
Directions: - Combine sugar, eggs, pumpkin, and oil, and mix well. Combine in a separate bowl the other dry ingredients, mix together, then add slowly to the first group. Be sure everything is mixed well (I have found my mixer doesn't do a very good job, and I usually wind up mixing it a little by hand). Add chopped nuts if you like (I don't care for them myself), or choppped jalapeño. I wouldn't try both in the same loaf.
- Grease and Flour 2 loaf pans (do this well or the loaves will stick to the pans). Bake at 350º for 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
Slice to desired thickness after completely cool. This bread is great served with any Thanksgiving recipe . During the cool fall and winter months it also goes great with your favorite soups and stews. But, I often enjoy this pumpkin recipe as a warm afternoon snack! Enjoy.
