Kabak tatlisi - pumkin recipe

Kabak Tatlisi
ingredients
2 1/4 lb (1 kg) pumpkin flesh
5 oz (150 g) caster sugar
5 oz (150 g) chopped walnuts

method
1. Cut the pumpkin flesh into thin, rectangular pieces measuring about 3 x 1 1/4 inches

2. Place these in a very wide, flameproof earthenware casserole dish, sprinkle with the sugar and add just enough water to cover; leave to stand for 24 hours.

3. Place the casserole dish on a moderate heat, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender.

4. Leave to cool at room temperature and then serve in small bowls or dishes, sprinkled with the chopped walnuts, or with thick cream like clotted cream.

My favourite season - Autumn


"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" I love Autumn the smell of bonfires the crisp air and the beautiful trees. Fabulous for walking the dog, or strolling in the park Autumn is exciting, fresh and vibrant.

Love mallorca


I had a great holiday with my eldest son, his wife,and my three lovely grand-sons and so i used some pictures of the holiday for the november weekly challenge on uks. Our villa was up this very steep slope that led to the church on top of the mountain, exhausting walking but fabulous views!

Out of touch!


I have been more than a little out of touch with this blog - but I have my excuses ready. (Honest miss the dog ate my homework!) I had a fab weekend looking after my grandsons whilest their parents had a well deserved weekend away at Stratford upon Avon. The boys were perfectly behaved and we had a lovely time, thankfully their parents had a great time too and so everyone was happy. Althought I now know more about Yu-gi-oh than I think is strictly necessary!
