I did cook up some pumpkin last year to compare it to the tinned that I grew up with. I think the flavor was there, but the biggest difference is the texture, but then when you bake with it it's not so different in baked goods. When we make sweet potato pie we don't use tinned sweet potatoes :) It just so easy to have pumpkin anything, anytime of year. <br />tinyskillethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921649923651185462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-56856354935085780792012-10-06T23:01:08.956+10:002012-10-06T23:01:08.956+10:00Thanks Kari - the quinoa chocolate went rather too...Thanks Kari - the quinoa chocolate went rather too quickly - my mum was surprised that sylvia loved it because it is so dark - reminded me how little I liked dark chocolate as a child and how adult it seemed - if you find the ice tea try it - it is so goodJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-10324166362759405662012-10-06T22:59:52.135+10:002012-10-06T22:59:52.135+10:00Thanks Lizzy - will try and report back when I ope...Thanks Lizzy - will try and report back when I open itJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-19562144102673621542012-10-06T22:59:31.961+10:002012-10-06T22:59:31.961+10:00Thanks Tandy - good suggestion - I love eats well ...Thanks Tandy - good suggestion - I love eats well with others and I know Joanne loves pumpkin but I looked and didn't find pumpkin pie - though lots of other idaesJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-73948958302836047502012-10-06T21:23:45.425+10:002012-10-06T21:23:45.425+10:00Thanks Hannah - I have spoken to a few people abou...Thanks Hannah - I have spoken to a few people about the sweet and salty version - some love it and some find it quite weird - I had it ages ago and loved it so it will be appearing in my kitchenJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-39795559283574149762012-10-06T21:22:57.481+10:002012-10-06T21:22:57.481+10:00Thanks Mulberry - they are lovely but why do they ...Thanks Mulberry - they are lovely but why do they go missing so easilyJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-2539294745316476692012-10-06T20:48:50.652+10:002012-10-06T20:48:50.652+10:00What a wonderful collection of foods and items (an...What a wonderful collection of foods and items (and drinks for that matter - I've never seen that iced tea!).
