Cinnamon Pears

Then pour back over pears and when cold, store in refrigerator. Pears should stand in juice about 24 hours and will then be a brilliant red. Fill cavity with cream cheese and place on crisp lettuce.

Nova Scotia Oatmeal Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked rolled oats
- 1 Tbsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable shortening
- 2 cup boiling water
- 2/3 cup molasses
- 1 package dry yeast dissolved in 2/3 cup warm water
- Flour
Directions
To the rolled oats, salt and shortening, add the 2 cup boiling water. When this mixture is tepid, add molasses and the yeast dissolved in 2/3 cup warm water. To all of the above add flour until the dough is firm enough to handle. (Dough should be stiff enough so that when you try to life it with a spoon it doesn't separate into two parts). Now let the dough rise until it is double in size. Mold with buttered hands and place in bread pans. Let rise again until double in size, and then bake in 350 oven for one hour. This is a real family treat!
