Does your wife use the pumpkin flesh? My wife makes great pumpkin pies.
Recipe
First thing you do is scrape the flesh out of the pumpkin & put it through the blender/liquidiser.
Line a flan tin with pastry.
Mix 4oz of brown sugar with a teaspoon of ground ginger & a teaspoon of all spice, mix this into 1.5lb of pumpkin puree with 2 eggs, stir in 8 fl oz of single cream & pour into the pastry case. bake for 45 minutes (190 degrees C gas mark 5) or until the filling has set, leave it to cool for a short while & eat it while it's still warm.
When I was a lad, pumpkins hadnt been invented. We used a neep ( turnip). They were a right bu**er to hollow out.
I suppose for the halloween lantern purpose the pumpkin is a good invention ( God bless America) and yours look very cool.
i remember cutting the nose to close to the mouth an eyes once..
a pumkin with just a massive hole isn't that scary!
if ya look at the one in the middle it has no nose as one got carried away lol. and another nearly lost it's nose too lol. so i sorted out the bad bits and made them good.
