cooking fresh pumpkin Chanda you have to try it

[Guest guest]

I usually have one for carving and one I just sit in front of the fireplace

uncarved. I cook pumpkin also.

I will scoop out the seeds and cut the pumpkin in large pieces. I put the flesh

side down and add some water in the ducth oven, I let it simmer with spices

(dash of salt, dash of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, etc,) When it's done I scoop

it out and eat as a side dish with dinner.

You can also bake it in the oven on 350 degrees on a baking sheet, top with

butter or margarine and a brush of honey or maple syrup.

I will also cook it up with no spice and use the pulp as Jenni does, in my

baking.

And don't forget to toast up those pumpking seeds! I love mixing them

with paprika, cayene, onion powder, garlic powder, a little salt and

pepper and then toasting on 350-400 until just turning brown.

It's like a BIG soup pot, maybe it's 4 quarts and has a lid, it's wide but not

narrow and tall. Mine is stainless steel. It depends on the thickness of the

pumpkin but I usually lay flesh side down covering the bottom of the pot and put

enough water to just cover the pumpkin (I do this to measure the correct water

level), then I left the pumpkin back out (uncooked) and add my spices and a

little brown sugar or syrup, etc. to the water, stir to mix and bring the water

to a boil, then I lay the pumpkin back in the pot and simmer on low until fork

tender.
