Pumpkin Recipes

As you may know, I do like to cook with the children  – or at least try to! I also like to try out new recipes. This October we have a “date” with “Uncle” for some pumpkin carving. And being a “non wasteful” so and so, I thought it would be a good idea to check out what yummy recipes are out there for us try out!

Whilst I have your attention, you may also love this great collection of Free Halloween Printables.. to pop over and check them out!!

The recipes below are a mixture of “canned pumpkin” and fresh pumpkin recipes (I have always marked which it is). You can usually replace the canned with freshly cooked fresh pumpkin without too much problems, just cook it, drain it and be sure to adjust any fluids you add (add a bit less…).

I can’t vouch for any of recipes (we haven’t tried them YET), but the majority come recommended by other bloggers and they all look great! Will you be inspired to get pumpkin carving AND cooking this October?

SAVOURY & MAIN COURSES

pumpkinPumpkin Puree

I am starting with this recipe, so that you can make your own Pumpkin Puree to replace and Canned Pumpkins in some of the recipes below. This is thanks to The Pioneer Woman.

Fresh Pumpkin

Curried Pumpkin Soup

We do love making soup – it is easy and it something that the kids can help with (in fact we have a very similar Carrot Soup on Life At The Zoo). I think The Boy would enjoy making this! This recipe is from All You.

pumpkinSausage Pumpking and Sage Casserole

From the BBC Food website (usually a safe bet). My kids love sausages. They also like chopping things. Casseroles TEND to not need to be chopped to neatly. So maybe this is something for us? Hope so! Might also be something for those of you who like slow cookers!

Fresh Pumpkin

A rice based dish that sounds wonderful (looks like pumpkins really do go well with rice!). This one is from BBC Good Food and was recommend by Alice Ready.

Another recipe from Aly at Point 2.4. She uses a slow cooker to make this. I am so keen to get a slow cooker – the food is meant to taste delicious and it reduces your time in the kitchen.
