I love baking and my favourite time of the year to bake is the autumn and Christmas time. Christmas is always sugary with treacle, golden syrup and ginger, so much ginger you forget the cold outside.
Autumn brings apples and my favourite, pumpkins. they take a bit of preparation but there is a lot less wastage that the apples, cutting it in half scrapping out the seeds (to roast and eat) the stringy bits end up in the compost and then I slow roast them in a water bath. 2 hours later there is caramelised pumpkin and the skin easily pulls off.
After blending all the flesh and water from the bath I have all in all two large bowls of pumpkin purée and have barely made a dent in how much I have after making a pumpkin pie and a pumpkin and walnut bread.
I see soups and more pies in my near future.
