Ok, Where is Sprat when you need a pumpkin soup recipe??
Anyone???? And how can you tell if it is ripe?
Guess I'll post on her FB page....

Yummmm! I can just taste that pumpkin soup now. Unfortunately, the only recipe I have for pumpkin soup uses canned pumpkin! I'd probably try recipes.com though.

Well I got some help with the recipe which turned out quite tasty! I wish I was Sprat....anyway, this is one thing I do when I miss Jamaica...I try to cook the foods I ate while on island.

Well it looks pretty good to me !!!!

the vegetables on the side look really delicious!

That looks yummy!

I always have pumpkin in my fridge. There's so much to do with it besides soup. For my soup I simply cut up the pumpkin and add some carrot, onion, garlic, pimento (just a little) and finish off with nutmeg. For a creamy soup I blend that mixture, adding a bit of milk.

I love curry pumpkin! Peel and cut up pumpkin. Chop up some onion (small, not fine), smash some garlic. Sautee the onion and garlic in a little oil - I like using coconut oil for this - and when soft add salt, pepper, a few pimento berries that have been dry roasted and crushed and some Jamaican yellow curry. Cook for a few minutes until you "smell" the spices cooking. Add coconut milk and simmer until the pumpkin is cooked through. If too much liquid, raise heat and reduce.

lol just going to say that Wendy. That's a pumpkin? Strangest looking one I've ever seen. lol

well jamaicans call lots of things different names than we do. Like sweet potatoes.

Yes it is (was!) a Jamaican pumpkin. I Skyped my friend in Jamaica and showed it on camera just to make sure it wasn't something else.

I thought you all knew that a Jamaican Pumpkin was not a "Halloween jackolantern" looking pumpkin??
