Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Oct 16, 2022 4:38 pm

Now its Halloween there are pumpkins everywhere. In the shops they are cheap. So… does anyone do anything with them apart from carving them.? Can i roast them? Like a butternut squash.

Many thanks.

It just seems sych a waste

Spicy pumpkin soup is a favourite in my house...super simple and really tasty. Diced the pumpkin,boil till soft in veg stock...add mixed spice and blend. You can add cream if you choose too,to make it thinner. Freezes nicely too

I put it in curries. Make soup and pumpkin marmalade. Also pumpkin cake (like carrot cake but very moist). Freeze in portions for curries and cake at a later date.
