GTTC: kabocha pie ice cream


Like pumpkin? You'll love kabocha. This Japanese pumpkin is a bit sweeter than its Western counterpart and is perfect in any dish that calls for pumpkin or even butternut squash. The ice cream I made above is made from roasted kabocha and is spiced with a generous sprinkling of nutmeg and cinnamon. Perfect for these last warm days of summer when you want something refreshing, but know that fall (and the season's culinary cravings) is in the air.

Want to share what you've been harvesting/cooking? Post about it and add your link here. I have faithfully posted every week all season but this post will serve as my Garden to Table Challenge post for the next two weeks. More details soon on the fun I'll be having...

    Hi Wendy, This ice cream sounds wonderful! We're still eating Farmers' Market fare. I love all the yummy stuff this time of year.

My awesome gardening friends...thanks for leaving a comment! I don't typically repond here, but I love knowing who you are so I can visit your blog as well.

btw - if you're trying to show me nude Miley Cyrus photos, sell me nikes or viagra or antibiotics, or encourage my lovely garden readers to visit your site on solar panel construction, or seo-whatevers, sorry, but I'm not publishing your comment. If you want to moderate my blog - well, I can't keep you too busy, and the pay would be horrible. And lastly, no. I'm not interested in Club Penguin cheat codes. Thanks anyway.
