pumpkins

[TheDMshouldbeRivened]

righty, we have hundreds of the buggers on the allotment. So I'm making pumpkin pie and soup. What else?

Pumpkin butter!

I made butternut squash butter the other day, was lovely!!

But how do you eat pumpkin butter ?

On toast, on scones, on peanut butter sandwiches, stirred into rice pudding or porridge. Other things I'm sure, they're just we did with this.

Will be making jars n jars of apple butter with our foraged apples soon. Mmmmm.

I discovered fruit butters while living in the US.

I make apple struper: is that the same as apple butter?

Its lovely under the almond bit of apricot tarts.

I don't know what apple struper is and googling has left me none the wiser!

Apple struper is like a thick puree of cooked sour apples, sugar, honey and spices. You boil it then jar it like jam.
