Baked Pumpkin

A Pumpkin’s Future:




It’s almost October 31st, and time to make plans for our jack-o‘-lanterns. What will you be doing, carving, toasting (the seeds), or cooking. Will you be displaying them with or without a toothy grin? We decided to not use any real pumpkins for decorating this year. No carvings on our porch. Instead they will be nestled in our oven with bubbling custard inside of them. Mmm, I can smell the cinnamon now!



BAKED WHOLE PUMPKIN



1 five to seven pound pumpkin

6 eggs

2 cups whipping cream

½ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon molasses

½ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ginger

2 tablespoons butter



Cut the lid off the pumpkin and remove seeds as you would for a jack-o’-lantern.



Mix together all BUT the butter

.



Fill pumpkin with the mixture; then top with the butter.



Cover the pumpkin with its lid and place in a baking pan.



Back at 350 degrees F for 1 to 1 ½ hours or until the mixture has set like a custard.



Dish it up at the table, right out of the pumpkin. Scrape some of the meat from the pumpkin with each serving.

Thirty-one Fabulous Finds:

Welcome! We are Mr. & Mrs. Truffle and we would like to entertain you with 31 days of fall. Looks like we need to dust off a little and get this party started. Yes, we are a bit late tonight, but forgive us; we are old bones that could use some rejuvenation. As you can see, we could use some treats to put some meat on us. So to start off, here’s a fabulous fall cookie recipe. Can you say easy?
