I know they look ugly. But once a concept is established, cosmetics can come later.

I also add a bit of cream cheese to it sometimes for something like pumpkin cheesecake. I also like pumpkin sliced and stirfried with onions and tomatoes, seasoned with peanuts. That's an old African dish. I’ve made something like that in the microwave. I also add a bit of cream cheese to it sometimes for something like pumpkin cheesecake.

As to winter veg, pumpkin is a staple in kiwi homes, usually steamed or roasted or in soup. But it's not used it in pies or sweet things very much. However because the carb count is very low I make "pumpkin custard" for one of my clients who is diabetic -- basically pumpkin pie without crust. I boil some pumpkin until soft, then blend it with eggs (1-2), a little bit of oil, sugar substitute, and whatever spices we have on hand. Bake until set and refrigerate until cold. He loves it, and we love that he can have a treat which doesn't knock his BSLs out of whack.
