Pumpkin Recipie???

Well, I have about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of leftover canned libbys pumpkin. I am looking to make something for dinner using it....Just nothing watery (Yuck :P ) Thanks to anyone who can help!

Re: Pumpkin Recipie???

Do you like sweet or savory?

For savory, I like to put canned pumpkin into a pot, cook on low heat, stirring so that it won't burn. This will cook out the excess water. Then I remove it from the heat, add a pat of butter, salt and pepper to taste, and maybe a drop of heavy cream. Beat it. And serve as a side dish----similar to mashed sweet potato.

I'm not fond of sweet pumpkin recipes, so I don't have any sweet recipes committed to memory.

I honestly just take a teaspoon or two of pumpkin pie spice and maybe sweetner if I feel like it per 16oz can.

Re: Pumpkin Recipie???

I love pumpkin curry. it is easy to fix and yiou can add any cooked shredded meat to the soup and have dinner in a bowl.

you have 1/2 the amount of pumpkin I normally use so you'd need

1/4th diced onion,
1/2 clove garlic
1-2T fat of choice (I use butter or EEOV)
1-2 T curry paste ( if you don't have paste but have powder 1-2 teaspoons works)
2 cups chicken stock
canned pumpkin

heavy whipping cream about 1/2 cup

sweat the onion in the pot with the fat. as the onion begins to get clear add the garlic and the curry paste.
cook 1-2 min more.

then add the chcicken stock and stir well bring to a boil and simmer on low heat.

carefully add the pumpkin to the pot and stir in well. becareful cause the pumpkin will "plop" when it comes to a boil and splash you.

if you want to add a cooked protein to the pot now would be the time to do it.

Add 1-2 T heavy whipping cream to each bowl before serving. you could add it to the pot but it tends to break when you freeze the soup if you want to save some for another day

when you get to OWL rung 3 you can add sugar free coconut cream instead if you like.
