Pumpkin Pie! Lovely Fall Treat - Probably Healthy Too

This recipe is NOT one of the eight original recipes in the latest novel "Not Now, Katrin" by the way ;o) You also probably have a huge pumpkin leftover from Halloween. Thanksgiving is coming up soon, so I cut Jack up and made a nice test pie. Delicious!!

Ingredients:

Pie crust - you can make a pate sablee, or like I did cookie/bread crumbs with butter. I leave this to you.
500 g Pumpkin
150 g brown sugar
250 ml whipping cream
Pumpkin pie spice, or gingerbread spice - cinnamon, cloves, mace, nutmeg, ginger - to taste!
Vanilla essence, just a tad
3 eggs

Method:

I boil the cut up pumpkin pieces (without peel) then simmer until soft - with a good splash of rum!
Drain the pumpkin, add the sugar and spices, and the whipping cream and puree.
When cool, add the eggs and whisk together well.

Bake 15 min at 200, then another 45 min at 175 celcius

Let cool. Serve with whipped cream! Totally yum. 

Thank you Jack!! You were a good pumpkin. Oh, and don't through the pumpkin skin and things into the garbage - find a nice place in the garden or the compost. Be kind! :o)

Not Now, Katrin ... well, if not NOW then WHEN? lol

Screeee!!! Finally it's done - the sequel to The University Club! Now all will be made clear :o) 

I've come clean about Kate. I can't believe what happened to Judy though - Judith was a good second life. I think she'll be back though. You never know ...

There are EIGHT original recipes in this book!! And my favourite playlist. 

You can download that on the website notnowkatrin.info .

Enjoy the book! Alexa reads kindle books to you - did you know that? I had no idea. It's pretty cool. 

I can't wait for you to get all the answers to the questions you had in the original novel. Exciting times!!

See you on Instagram and twitter!

poka! Katrin

Just Coming out of the Kitchen ...

and it's the END OF MARCH?! ... this was too many caterings ... 6981 emails?! oh please let hubby have paid the suppliers ... well ... well my hips aren't any wider than they were in January so that must be a good sign. I am wiping remnants of .. is that spelt correctly? .. of cream cheese icing from my lips as I type and there were carrot cakes for 150 just picked up. thank god for carrot cake. i seem te recall eating a salad yesterday of cress, kale and baby romaine with roasted tomato and some sort of grilled cheese i threw together in the panini press with brie, souer angel and chedder. i think the brie was overkill but certainly the onion marmalade wasn't ... :o) and now i'm off to bed. just as soon as I finish the rest of this Woodford bourbon that's wallowing in the bottom of my glass. good night girls! damn but we work a bit too hard me thinks. Ja. Da. eto pravda ... :o) katrin

merry christmas to you!

oh no! my blog disappeared! it was turned off by blogger.com due to "suspicous activity"! i only discovered this yesterday. I received no mail from them about this. poor deal!! I still do not know what happened. but at least we're back! did anyone else have this problem?

I am totally overwhelmed with work and family. but for both I am thankful. :o)

Merry Christmas to you and yours. Keep your family close and be thankful for all your blessings. No matter how small, they are blessings. poka! katrin.

ps - christmas cookies spend a moment in your mouth but months on your hips! :o)
