Pumpkin Galore!

It is all about pumpkins at Trader Joe’s at this time of the year. The store tries to outdo itself by adding more pumpkin flavored items to its shelves, everything from pumpkin beer to pumpkin salsa.  Not a big pumpkin fan myself. Growing up in the Northeast of Scotland, Halloween lanterns were carved from turnips, or swedes as the English call them. About all you can do with turnips, or Neeps as we called them in the North East of Scotland, is cook them and mash them with a wee bit of butter and a pinch of sugar.

However, I was rather excited when I saw pumpkin panettone in my local Trader Joe’s store. I  give you a seasonal version of one of favourite desserts, bread pudding.  If you can get your hands on the pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds also sold at Trader Joe’s at this time of year, then they are wonderful sprinkled over the top.  For those of you reading in the UK, my apologies, and I would not recommend trying this recipe with turnips.
