Pumpkin overload!

We got 10 butternut squashes from one plant. We also planted 3 pumpkin plants and another butternut squash plant in the horse poo and rabbit poo piles. We thought they hadn’t fruited very well until we came to cut back the plants and found quite a few hiding in the nettles and foliage. Look at the size of them!

We had 3 this size and 7 somewhat smaller ones, so we have gone from thinking we had no pumpkin to having waaaay to much.

Here is Doug picking a butternut squash.

I have been making soup like a madman as well as various other pumpkin/butternut squash dishes.
We have had:
Pumpkin and bacon pasta sauce
Butternut squash and potato mash on a mutton pie
Pumpkin roll (recipe to follow)
Pumpkin and chorizo pizza

Roast butternut squash and lamb pasties (kind of like a cornish pasty)

We are planning on having:
Haggis with mashed pumpkin
Pumpkin pie (I have never had it, it sounds way to sweet, but you have to try these things)
