Hello, hope you are well. I do not have canned pumpkin in my supermarket. Is it just cooked down pumpkin or do they put something else in it? Because I would love to be able to try both recipes using that ingredient. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi, RAymonde. How are you? How's the weather there? It's still autumn here but seems like winter is upon us already.
ReplyDeleteAs for the pumpkin, yes, it's just puree so you can certainly puree your own. I've used kabocha squash (Japanese squash or Asian squash) in lieu of pumpkins. I'll be posting my pumpkin bread using kabocha asap. Thanks Raymonde.
Thank you TaGa_Luto, I will give it a go. The weather has turned here. After the photos of fall you liked on my blog, the leaves have now all fallen, the temperatures have dropped and we have more rain. Never mind, more time spent inside cooking lovely recipes like yours for instance. Take care.
ReplyDeleteLooks good. I love pumpkin desserts.....
ReplyDeleteWe are so going to make this! Except maybe Vincenzo will eat them ALL... :P
