I was off work for two weeks during October following a rather dramatic car accident. I was fully in one piece though the same couldn't be said for my car! I was confined the house as my knee was very severely bruised and walking was quit difficult for a few weeks.
However, a happy end to the story as that was only real injury, I'm back up & about now, even driving and most importantly of all, it gave me some extra time to do something a bit different in the kitchen - I needed something to pass the time - allbeit, sitting down while I baked!
After Halloween, I was left with a pumpkin I'd never found the time to carve. So, returning once again to my all American roots with Thanksgiving this Thursday, what better a plan than to make fresh pumpkin purée!
I took advice from two 'recipes' I found online to create my own; one from The Pioneer Woman (whose site I would highly recomend) and one from The Daily Green. And I was pretty happy with the outcome: 100%, organic, fresh, homemade pumpkin purée.
But waste not, want not - what about the innards?
Best make some roasted pumpkin seeds as well... Did you know they're meant to be aphrodisiacs? I haven't tested them yet...
Happy Autumn All!!
