Glorious Pumpkins
Your favorite pumpkin recipe could harvest
$500.00!
Winners on The Early Show on CBS
There are so many ways to enjoy the subtle
flavor of pumpkin. You can puree it for luscious
soups, bake it into cakes and sweet breads, even
toast the delicate seeds.
With so many options, it was simple for us to
"pick" this versatile winter squash for our next
recipe contest, "Pumpkin Patch Specialties." The
Taste of Home judging panel is eagerly awaiting
a crop of favorites:
Do you serve a special appetizer that delights
guests? Maybe you put together a dynamite
pumpkin dip, hummus or cheese ball.
Comforting pumpkin soups and eye-catching salads
are great for fall. We're looking for unique
chilies, stews and bisques, pretty pumpkin
fluffs and even salads.
We're hoping to dip into pumpkin butters,
toppings, spiced syrups and jellies.
Pumpkin pancakes and waffles can be very
soothing on chilly days. Our judges also crave
tender muffins, yeast breads, scones and rolls.
From rich cheesecakes and pies to
family-favorite bars and cookies, which pumpkin
desserts are your favorites?
