Hello, I dunno if you also eat pumpkins on this time of the year, or just carve them. Anyway, here's a recipe which I recently imagined and prepared today: stuffed pumpkin. Here it is,before going to the oven (some 3 hours): The filling consists of resins, dried plumes, some dried apricots and dates and nuts. Plus some honey and rum. All of the pitts are removed, of course. And ready (I also added an apple on the top): Yummy! :drool: Adrian

You've got me drooling Adrian. My grandparents were Czech, and I can remember my grandmother making something like this in the fall. I haven't had it since I was a little boy. May have to try making this, just to bring back memories of my grandmothers kitchen.

You grow pumpkins in weird shapes in Romania. Look like it would be pretty rich...

Todd, this is not a real pumpkin, it is what you name butternut squash. We name both species here "pumpkins". Steve, it WAS dellicious. It's finished by now Adrian

Ah-ha. Do you have 'real' pumpkins too, or only the squash.

Oh yes, we do have "real' ones too, but they're too big to be prepared like that (cut in half and stuffed with dried fruits).

I remember reading a site last year......this man was saying what a waste that everyone carves their pumpkins and lets them rot. After sitting outside a few days for Halloween, this gentleman would peel the pumpkins, slice them up and freeze them for use later. Said they were excellent for pureeing in soups and other "wintertime" meals.
That does look very good Adrian and I would definitely try it! We dont generally eat the pumpkin but we do roast the seeds. I cant imagine why anyone would throw the seeds out. After a quick rinse to get all the goo off, we put them in the oven in a baking dish, with olive oil and sea salt. They are very good!
My favorite is acorn squash, baked with lots of butter and brown sugar.

Shannon, I can't believe you throw away the best part of the pumpkin. I split 2 or 3 pumpkins every year. clean out the seeds and yucky fiber stuff, and bake them. I scoop out the cooked pumpkin and blend it into a smooth paste with pumpkin pie spices. Then freeze it in quart containers. We have pumpkin pie, bread and cookies all the way till the next harvest season. I do bake the seeds, but always save a few from the biggest pumpkin to plant the next year.

My grandma was great at going out and getting the pumpkins and she would slice them, clean them out and put one face down in this large roasting pan. She would pop each side in the oven for about 30 minutes, pull one out and put in the other and so on until she had a whole slew done. Said it made it easier to peel and cube. She would cook some down in water to make a puree and the rest would be cubed and frozen until we would have some with a meal. Yum yum! I love those butternuts too! That recipe had to have made the whole house smell wonderful! Fran Fran

In the British Commonwealth..............that is ALL English speaking countries except the US, "pumpkin" is any round squash. Pumpkin pie is about as weird as squash pie would be to an American.
BTW, Adrian your receipt sounds great. Woody
