I like the acorn pan!
Fall always means harvest season. This is the first year in a long time that I haven’t grown any squash, we still have a freezer-full from last year! I’m just waiting for the weather to cool down a bit before I try some new pumpkin pie-ish recipes. I say “ish” because I have trouble rolling out the dough for crusts, and the pre-made ones taste like plastic, so I end up making cobblers or something similar instead.
I never used to like pumpkin pie, but last year I figured out that what I really don’t like is the nutmeg. I now leave that out, and use a touch of maple extract as well. Tastes much better :)
I’ve never been very good at rolling out crusts, but I’ve had the best results by rolling them between two sheets of waxed paper. I think some of the silicone mats might work well, too.
Just roast some sugar pumpkin or Butternut squash with butter, salt, brown sugar and maple syrup.
Pretty tasty stuff
Since you grow your own, do yourself a favor. Plant some of these next year.
