Playing with Pumpkin

Going 'Orange' for the week.

If you had 1 kg of roasted pumpkin puree, what would you do? Any ideas???

Not too sure? Well stick around and I'll proffer some suggestions though I must admit I was scratching my head too!!

Butternut pumpkin is the best if you can get your hands on some as they are very tasty and sweet.

For this, I used a normal local pumpkin. Nothing fancy, just make sure it is ripe. Overheard M complaining how she had 2 pumpkins in the house and didn't have time to use them. Thought I declare an orange week and use them up!! Ha ha

The golden orange squash.

For the roasted pumpkin puree, it is actually quite simple. The hardest thing is probably slicing the pumpkin!! :) A big cleaver is best for the job!

Cut pumpking and remove seeds. Arrange in a baking tray. Drizzle or brush some oil. You can use butter if you wish. Bake for 45-50 min @ 180C until the pumpking flesh is tender and soft. Using a fork, remove and mash the flesh together.

So are you ready for the orange week??
