Description

I saw these ones this morning at the supermarket nearby. A virtual bulb brightened my brain with an idea: a recipe from Italy. A pumpkin cake for Mark(wysiwig)'s birthday and PJ(Mrs. Lubner)'s collection of recipes, and whoever wants to try. Bon appetit!!!! Tortino di zucca e amaretti (Pumpkin and Amaretti Cake). Serves 4: For the syrup: 400 grams sugar 300 grams water 1 vanilla bean 1 orange peal For the filling : 400 grams pumpkin chopped into small cubes 100 grams Amaretti cookies 100 grams crushed hazelnuts For the dough: 300 grams puff pastry Directions: Bring syrup to boil and add pumpkin cubes. Line a saucepan with puff pastry about 3 mm (about 0.01"), lay crushed amaretti and hazelnuts at the bottom, add pumpkin cubes and cook in oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes. When cooked, glaze lightly with apricot sauce. Serve lukewarm with whipped cream. Tips: Choose a pumpkin with solid pulp. Wrinkled Emilian pumpkins are the best for this dessert, especially the ones from the southern part of the Ferrara province. Be careful not to overcook pumpkin. Be careful to keep the heat low when drying pumpkin so that it does not change color. Thank you for your kind comments.

Dahhh-ling, you will never believe this. Not 5 minutes ago, as I sat at my desk, the building manager came to the door with a cart covered in pumpkins. "We are dropping off a complementary pumpkin to enter in the building's pumpkin carving contest on Friday." "We are not entering this year," I said, "No one wants to be bothered with carving pumpkins." "But then, would you like to take one home? We'll leave one with you to take home for yourself." "Yes, I'd love to do that," I responded, whereupon she handed me a pumpkin, I swear, the size of my car!!! I have no option but to roll it into the elevator and up the parking garage ramp to my car as it would take a forklift to carry it out. But then, that is why they probably gave it to me...where on earth did they figure they would put the thing if SOMEONE didn't take it. So, you see? I have a squash to use on my many recipes for this holiday season, including this one. :-) A million thanks for the new recipe. and great photo! LOL

When I first read this I thought it was cake made with liqueur. Then I realized I was thinking of amaretto. Oh well, I can have a glass on the side when I make this. A wonderful birthday gift, you know me too well.

Peter Peter pumpkin eater. Had a wife but couldn't feed her. He stuck her in a pumpkin shell And there he kept her very well! That just popped into my mind when I saw this photo! A most spectacular image! Sounds like a most delicious recipe as well! Thanks for sharing!
