RE: [lace-chat] pumpkin recipes?
We use left-over cooked pumpkin to make fritters :- 2 cups mashed cooked pumpkin 1 egg 2 teaspoons baking powder Pinch of salt 4 Tablespoons flour or just enough to thicken the mixture Mix the pumpkin and dry ingredients - the mixture must not be too thick Beat the egg and add. Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan and drop spoonful of mixture in the oil. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the fried fritters and serve with lemon wedges. Nice to eat on a cold day!!

Re: [lace-chat] pumpkin recipes?
Dear Friends, You could consider Pumpkin Soup. You would have to roast the pumpkin first, then make the soup. Search Pumpkin Soup Recipe to get several versions. I found one but my computer won't let me copy the address and print it in this email. Here is the best Pumpkin Soup recipe sent to us by Julie in 1997:- One of my family's favorite fall dishes is Pumpkin Soup in a Pumpkin. The hard part can be finding appropriate pumpkins after Halloween. Cut a lid from and hollow out a pumpkin (8 to 10 pounds is a good size.) Inside the pumpkin, layer toasted bread (any kind of bread seems to work as long as it's good bread) with grated gruyere or other swiss cheese and sauteed chopped onion. I usually fill the pumpkin about 3/4 full. Sprinkle on a little nutmeg. Pour in scalded milk or cream, or half chicken broth and half milk or cream, to within an inch or so of the lid. Top with a bay leaf, and bake in the oven until the pumpkin is tender. It's safest to put it in a deep pan, just in case it springs a leak. Serve by scooping the pumpkin flesh with the filling and broth. I have also found that the tiny pumpkins often sold as decorations are outstandingly delicious! I steam them, cut lids, scoop out the seeds, and bake them with a ricotta custard or apple/raisin/sausage filling. Their flesh is creamier and more flavorful than pie pumpkin.

[lace-chat] pumpkin recipes
We eat a lot of pumpkin. The suggested method in many recipes of cooking the pumpkin is to cut it up and remove the seeds, then cook it. Since pumpkins are so hard, this can be discouraging. I split it, place it face down on a baking sheet and bake it at 350 degrees until it's tender. After it cools so I can handle it, I scoop the seeds away from the flesh, then the flesh away from the skin. Much easier. Similar for the minis; bake them first, cut off the top, scoop out the seeds. I add brown sugar and a little butter and some cinnamon, put the lid back on top and warm it in the oven. Like a crustless pie for supper! When you cut off the top, slant the cut, rather than straight up and down. This leaves a lip so the lid doesn't fall in. Curried Pumpkin Soup 1 7-8 lb pumpkin 3 14 1/2 oz cans chicken broth 2 baking apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped 1 carrot, chopped 2 tsp grated ginger root 1 t curry powder 1/2 t ground cumin 6 slices bacon 1/4 c chopped onion 2 T sugar 1 c croutons In a large pot, combine the flesh, broth, apple, carrot, ginger root, curry and cumin. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or til vegetables are tender. cool slightly. Blend or process mixture, a third at a time til smooth. Simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook the bacon till crisp. Remove and drain, reserving 1 T of the drippings. Cook onion and sugar in the drippings till onion is tender. Finely crumble bacon. Stir bacon and croutons into the skillet. Sprinkle bacon mixture atop soup in pumpkin. Makes 8 cups. Pumpkin Whoopie Pies Makes about 72 2 pies 2 egg yolks 2 c brown sugar 1 c vegetable oil 2 c pumpkin (1 can) 3 c flour 1 t ground cloves 1 t cinnamon 1 t ground ginger 1 t vanilla 1 t salt 1 t baking powder 1 t baking soda Beat egg yolks, sugar and oil.

Pumpkin Soup With Sage And Ham 3 T butter 1onion; chopped 1carrot; chopped 1rib celery; chopped 1/2 tart apple; such as granny smith, peeled, cored, and diced 2 canned pumpkin puree 1/3 c dry white wine 1 T dried sage 1bay leaf 3 ½ c water 2 ½ c canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock 1 ½ t salt ¼ t fresh-ground black pepper 1 ½ c diced ham 1 c Whole-berry cranberry sauce In a large pot, melt the butter over moderate heat.

Re: [lace-chat] Pumpkin recipes
That looks like a lot of oil Jane. Yes, it does but it makes a large pan. I've made it many, many times and it turns out just fine. Over the weekend, I made a bundt cake and that also called for 1 cup of oil. I hesitated also but the cake is delicious, turned out just fine. Sometimes when recipes call for what seems to be too much oil, you can substitute half of that amount with applesauce. I haven't tried that with this recipe however. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. Jane O'Connor [EMAIL PROTECTED] New Lenox, IL USA Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
