I turned to the power of social media. Pumpkin recipe upon pumpkin recipe has been pinned to Pinterest over the past month - the majority calling for cans of pumpkin puree. So I asked good old Twitter for some pumpkin advice and as a result used all of the pumpkin up.
Well, nearly. Not sure what we could have done with the skin of the cut out pieces - any suggestions?
We carved, pureed, deseeded and baked.
Thank you to the lovely Modern Mummy for her Pumpkin Puree Recipe and Over A Cuppa for her Spiced Pumpkin Cake Recipe.
Pinterest is providing me with lots of ideas for roasting the seeds - my heart is going with Cinnamon at the moment - watch this space.
So, do you use all of the pumpkin?!

Your cake looks amazing!! Glad I could be of service with the pumpkin puree recipe... Its such a shame to let all the flesh go to waste when it tastes so good!
ReplyDeleteI like roasting my seeds with chilli powder, turmeric and salt.... super spicy and very addictive! x x
I love pumpkins so much, they are my favourite food. So many things you can do with them. I like to roast the seeds in garlic, chilli and paprika. You could always roast the cut out bits with some other veggies. I'm going to make this cake this week :) thank you for the idea.
ReplyDeleteooh, we toasted the seeds last year and they were soo good that we are most definitely doing the same again this year! i think we spiced them up a bit with a bit of paprika...seriously good stuff!
ReplyDeleteMmm that sounds lie a nice savoury version for the seeds. I've roasted some with maple syrup and cinnamon but came out a bit bitter :(
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely like the idea if roasted chunks. I have two more waiting to be dealt with!
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of love for spicy seeds! May have to try some savoury x
