This tasty pumpkin recipes I would like to share with you, is very simple. I make it all the time, while pumpkins are in season. You will need to pick out a small to medium sized pumpkin that's deep in color and firm to the touch. When cooking smaller pumpkins, they tend to be tastier and not as watery as the larger ones.
Ingredients;
1 small to medium size pumpkin, pulp and seeds removed
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp all spice
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/3 of a stick of butter or margarine
Salt and pepper to taste
Pre heat your oven to 400. Wash and cut the top off of the pumpkin. Remove the pulp and seeds, reserving the seeds for roasting if desired. Place the top back on the pumpkin and wrap it well with foil. Put the pumpkin in a baking dish and place it in the oven. Baking time will be about an hour or more depending on the size of your pumpkin. Remove from the oven when your pumpkin is soft to the touch. Let it cool for about 20 minutes. Once cooled remove the foil and start scooping the flesh out of the pumpkin. Put the flesh in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients to your bowl and mash everything together well. This side dish pairs nicely with many entrees.

I love dishes spiced with cinnamon, coriander, curry and saffron. They taste oriental to me.
The pumpkin patch with the oak tree looks beautiful, a motive for a painting, Lydia.
Hi Olivia, The Spices in these pumpkin recipes are perfect autumn and winter spices to consume, because if eaten enough, they tend to ward off colds and other viruses. I'll consider a painting inspired by the photo on my post.
Hi Lydia,
could you maybe place another pumpkin photo between the two recipes to make it clear that you are giving two different ones?
Both recipes sound delicious, Lydia.
I especially like the taste of tumeric, and use it in a lot of dishes.
The picture is pretty, too.
Hi Olivia, Yes I will work on that. I should have done that to begin with.
Hi Jan, I also love turmeric and use it often. It's very good for you too. Thanks for liking my photo. I use many of the photos on my blog from flickr. They have very talented people submitting their work for others to use.
Mmmmm.....
You know, I eat lots of squash but never thought of baking a pumkin! Of course, I make lots of things with pumpkin like bread and pies, but just to bake one? Never entered my mind. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm eager for them to get ready now so I can try it!
Hi Sue, You'll love baked pumpkin by following either of these recipes. It's just as good with salt, pepper and butter if you want to make it real simple.
