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 :-)

batches w/ ½" tip into boiling water, snip w/ kitchen shears at ½" intervals.
Cook til dough floats to surface. Drain; keep warm. Repeat w/ rest.

SAUCE Caramelize a bit 4 shallots, gar/cl both fine-chp, tb sugar.
Add cup h/cream, 1/2 cup veg or chix stock; add 4 oz mascarpone,
bunch fine-chp fresh sage. S/P to taste.
