Since we didn't have to go to school today, I took advantage of the time this morning and made pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes with my brother. We had some leftover pumpkin, so I looked up what fruits would pair well with it. The search came up with pear, apples, and cranberries, but I wonder if pumpkin would go well with other things. When I think about it, it doesn't have a very strong flavor, so shouldn't it be a more versatile ingredient. After pondering it for a while I decided that maybe pumpkin and carrot could go together because they both have subtle flavors and go with some of the same spices.
Interesting to think about. What did you end up doing with the leftover pumpkin?
ReplyDeleteWe made pumpkin bars-no carrots involved.
ReplyDeleteMy mom makes a soup with pumpkin and carrots and salantro and it is good! Nice slice!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I wonder if a pumpkin-carrot cake would be good? I like how you talked about researching and your comment about the subtle flavors has made me think. I often make a pumpkin chili actually and it's quite tasty. Keep slicing!
