I had this dessert way back wherein it was chunks of pumpkin served tender in this sweet spiced liquid. Maybe it had ginger in it, or nutmeg, but I'm not sure. I'm so totally craving for them now...Does anybody know of a recipe for a poached pumpkin dessert?
Poached Pumpkin in Syrup
1 Pumpkin or banana squash -(2 to 3 lbs)
1 c Sugar
1 c Water
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 c Tahini
1/2 c Ground walnuts
Seed and peel the pumpkin, then cut into rectangular chunks about 2 inches by 3 inches. Place the pumpkin pieces in a wide heavy pan, sprinkle with the sugar, and cover with the water and lemon juice. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 1 hour, until pumpkin flesh is tender, occasionally basting with the juices. Remove pan from the heat and let pumpkin cool in the liquid. Remove pumpkin pieces and arrange on a serving dish. Spoon the syrup from the pan over the pumpkin, drizzle with the tahini and sprinkle with the ground walnuts.
