Pumpkin patch pancakes

Pumpkin Patch Pancakes

Mix up your favorite pancake mix according to package directions. For every cup of dry mix used, mix in the following:
¼ cup canned pumpkin
½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice (If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand you can make your own. See recipe below.) Cook pancakes as you normally would.

Apple Cider Syrup

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4 cups Red Barn apple juice

In a sauce pan mix together, sugar, cornstarch, and pumpkin spice. Stir in apple juice. Bring to a boil, remembering to stir occasionally. Boil until desired thickness. Remove from heat and serve over Pumpkin Patch Pancakes or give it a try over regular pancakes.

Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Mix and store.

Honey Orange Salmon

Honey Orange Salmon

1/3 C soy sauce
1/4 C orange juice
1/4 C Red Barn honey
2 sliced green onions
1 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP Red Barn apple juice
1 TBSP minced fresh ginger root
1 salmon fillet (1 lb.)

Mix the first seven ingredients to make a marinade. Put salmon and marinade in a plastic bag and refrigerate for about an hour (we thought it was slightly too fishy, so next time I would try to marinate it a little longer).
Preheat the oven to 350. Coat an 8x8 glass pan with foil and then cooking spray.
Discard marinade and place salmon in pan.
Bake for 30-40 minutes.
I served this with some seasoned rice. To two cups of rice, I added a couple teaspoons of soy sauce, honey, a pinch or two of ginger, and a sliced green onion. I added some pineapple on the side. Steamed Red Barn asparagus would also be great with this dish!
