2nd batch of pumpkin muffins in the oven .. I really need to find an alternative use for pumpkin

[Twiglett]

that isn't

a) soup

or

b) throwing it at DS or DH

Nigella has a lovely pumpkin cheese cake, but it's a bit heavy.

I generally make pumpkin cake, which is essentially the same thing.

But I've also made pumpkin and feta filo parcels, which are very tasty.

DH amused the children by pretending the pumpkin was a dead body. He made them close their eyes and remove body parts - intestines, brain, veins. They thought it was hillarious. The pumpkin ended up in the bin though! Sorry, no recipes but the laughter was worth every penny.

Here you go Twiglett! pumkineeverything

I suggest compost.

I take it you are feeling much better Twiglett?

You can, of course, puree it and freeze it in batches to make pumpkin items throughout the year.

Pumpkin Pie! I'll post the recipe if you want. DH and I love it.

I've been doing pureeing and freezing already. Very practical. If you have to sieve pumpkin, you may as well do loads of it.

It's lovely roasted and chucked in a risotto

Well, we did ours on Wednesday, and the flies love 'em!
