I'm loving Autumn at the moment for the crisp dry days and for Pumpkins! My eldest Son has taken a liking to them and points them out everytime we see them in the shops or on any websites, saying in his cute little voice, 'Pumkin' ( note to self, have the video camera primed next time we get them out of the kitchen so we can capture the cute way he says it!)
Anyway back to the point of the post, we visited Kenyon Hall Farm on Monday to go pick our own pumpkin and of course I took a load of photos to capture the moment, these are the best of the bunch and I was so eager to scrap them that I've had them processed already! I'm off to a crop tomorrow night so will take them with me I think and get them onto a page!
We also purchased some purple potatoes and carrots from the farm shop and had them for tea on Monday night. They tasted quite like regular carrots but with a slightly different taste but not sure if thats just cause they were really fresh as opposed to supermarket carrots.
Have found a couple of recipes that use the insides of the pumpkins including this one for pumpkin cupcakes which look and sound delicious so I'm now planning on doing some baking over the weekend!
What do you do with your pumpkin flesh when making a lantern?
