I used to think I didn’t like pumpkin. Turns out I just don’t like nutmeg. I was glad to find that out, because I love growing squash!
I use cinnamon, brown sugar, pecans, and molasses when making anything sweet with pumpkin. But I also found out that plain cooked pumpkin with butter and a little salt can be a good side dish, just like sweet potatoes.
I’m afraid I don’t have a recipe handy, but I once made a really good butterscotch-pumpkin pie by mixing a box of instant pudding with the pumpkin.
Really great pumpkin recipes from everyone!
I don’t think I realized how much I like pumpkin, until this thread.
Another thing I really like (and it’s coming up ‘seasonal’) is mincemeat pie. We always had them when I was a kid, from the grocery store. Now you can only find them at Christmas time; so I hoard in the deep-freeze :-)
