The Pumpkin Patch

As soon as the first pumpkin blossom took, I started thinking of all the things I want to make once they're ripe.  I did a search of this blog to find out what I've already made.  I had forgotten a few recipes that were very good. If you think it's too early for pumpkins, Starbucks et al are starting on the 31st.  And there was a pretty decent display at the Ventura County Fair.

So here's another review list.

• Roast Pumpkin Purée
• Pumpkin Chiffon Pie
• Dutch Pumpkin and Apple Pie
• Baked Pumpkin Pie
• Autumn Fool
• Pumpkin Dessert Tamales
• Pumpkin Crepes
• Pumpkin Waffles
• Pumpkin and Coconut Rice Pudding
• Pumpkin Risotto
• Pumpkin-Cranberry Muffins
• Pumpkin Ravioli
• Hearty Pumpkin Soup
• Thanksgiving Dinner Soup
• Mashed Pumpkin
• Pumpkin Cookies
• Pumpkin Scones
• Pumpkin Bread
• Pumpkin Hummus

Well, I'm clearly not making all of this out of one pie pumpkin, even if it's probably going to be the largest I've grown.  I had forgotten about the Dutch pie and the scones.  Mostly I started this list to find the tamale recipe.  It's still early, with plenty of pumpkin season ahead of us.
