Pumpkin Bars

This recipe can be traced back to the late forties and was presented in a Crisco Brand cookbook. I added nutmeg to the recipe for an additional kick. A great topping for this would be whipped cream or meringue.

2 cups sugar
1 cup Crisco oil
2 cups pumpkin or squash
2 cups flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cream together the sugar, oil and pumpkin. Mix the dry ingredients separately then mix into moist slowly, mixing constantly. pour onto greased jelly roll pan. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
