My Top 10 Pumpkin Recipes |
Posted: 26 Oct 2011 03:41 PM PDT Halloween is almost here and I am up to my ears in pumpkins; pie pumpkins for eating that is! Pumpkin is one of my favourite fall ingredients and I am always searching for and trying tasty new pumpkin recipes. Over the years I have used pumpkin in a wide variety of sweet and savoury dishes including soups, pastas, cakes, muffins, buns, cookies and even some drinks. Given all of the pumpkins around at the stores these days I though I would take the time to share with you my current favourite pumpkin recipes. A lot of these recipes call for pumpkin puree and although it is convenient to buy it canned it is also very easy to make at home. Since pumpkin puree freezes well I like to roast a bunch of pumpkins up to freeze the puree so that I can enjoy it throughout the winter. When you are making these pumpkin recipes keep in mind that you can save the seeds and use them to make a healthy and tasty toasted pumpkin seed snack. Pumpkin Pie - Dessert is certainly where it is at when it comes to pumpkin and a pumpkin pie has to be one of the best ways to enjoy some pumpkin. This pumpkin pie recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas or any other time for that matter! Pumpkin White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Cookies - Pumpkin puree works surprisingly well in cookies and I always enjoy adding some to my favourite white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies! Pumpkin Pie White Hot Chocolate - Along with the pumpkins comes cooler weather which is the perfect time to pull out this recipe for a pumpkin pie white hot chocolate which is the perfect way to stay warm and indulge in some pumpkin. Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Buns with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting - Pumpkin can also make your mornings special by having these pumpkin pie cinnamon rolls for breakfast and the holidays are the perfect time to whip up a batch! Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake - If you like pumpkin pie and if you are a fan of cheesecake then you will definitely love this pie which combines the two! Top it off with some caramel sauce to make it even more decadently delicious. Pumpkin Pie French Toast - Another great way to use pumpkin for breakfast is to mix some into your french toast batter for some pumpkin pie french toast. Pumpkin Gnocchi in a Brown Butter and Sage Sauce - Pumpkin also makes some really nice pumpkin gnocchi and it goes well in a simple browned butter and crispy fried sage sauce. Roasted Pumpkin Quiche with Caramelized Onions, Gorgonzola and Sage - Although pumpkin goes really well in sweet dishes for breakfast, this savoury pumpkin quiche with sage and tangy blue cheese has to be one of my favourite pumpkin breakfasts. Sweet Pumpkin Fritters - These pumpkin fritters topped with a spiced honey/syrup were an experiment that turned out to be amazingly good and so quick and easy to to make as well! Roasted Pumpkin, Pancetta and Sage Soup - This pumpkin soup with pancetta, sage and a smoked turkey leg is another great way to keep warm while enjoying even more pumpkin! |
