Pumpkin Recipes

[penny13610]

We have Pumpkin Day on Saturday.
The children's games are sorted, the lunches are on track, but the cookery competition is open to savage competition.
Over the years I have made pumpkin: tiramisu, soup, dhal, pickles, glace fruits, curd and all sorts of other bizarre things.
Does anyone have any unusual recipes to share?

I give you pumpkin curd

1 lb pumpkin (a blue one or butternut squash)
100 ml water

peel and chop pumpkin, simmer til soft and rub through sieve.

1 lemon, juice and zest
1 orange juice and zest
450 g soft light brown sugar
5 large eggs
1 tsp corn flour (nice and heapy)
1 tsp cinnamon
half a tsp ginger
quarter tsp nutmeg
mix it all together in a heavy bottomed saucepan and cook over a low heat until thickened.

Put in sterilised jars, keeps about a month in fridge

I'm contemplating pumpkin ketchup and pumpkin peanut butter truffles
