I had a pumpkin and really didn't know what to do with it. I had only just done a pumpkin pie so really didn't fancy making another one. So in the end I made a pumpkin compote.
Steps
- 1
Cook the pumpkin in water for around 30 to 40 minutes. You want it soft enough to be able to mash it.
- 2
When cooked drain the pumpkin in a sieve for a good while. Then mash well making sure there is no lumps.
- 3
Add the mashed pumpkin back into the sieve. The pumpkin will hold a lot of water so you want to lose as much of that water as possible. I used a good amount of kitchen roll to squeeze some of the water out of the pumpkin.

On a medium to low heat, In the same pan used to boil the pumpkin, add all the above ingredients including the mashed pumpkin.

Simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Stirring regularly ensuring it's not sticking to the bottom.

Seal and store upto 1 month in a cool dry place.
