Rescue a pumpkin – turn it into this autumnal treat.
For pastry making or to thicken sauces, soups, stews and casseroles.
Consider tablesalt, sea salt or crystals.
Sea salt’s pronounced and salty flavour means less is required to season food.
Unsalted is better for cooking.
Easy spread butter is ideal for sandwiches and toast.
Always have some on hand for quick scrambled egg.
Great in buns, cakes, and puddings.

Tip for wasting even less: buy a ready-made pastry case from the baking aisle in the supermarket. If you don't want to scrape out the pumpkin you can cut into segments and bake, approx 30 mins at 210C. I've heard rumours it works with butternut squash too. With pumpkin it is luscious and very filling. Serve with plenty of cream or icecream.
Yummy pumkin pie
