Katie, we speak the same language.... so much of what you say resonates.

On the pumpkin, I am thinking that I might actually go in search of a pumpkin this year and do some experimenting of my own. A traditional dish in South Africa is pumpkin fritters...and experimenting (never a problem for me) with making those.

On canning: it really isn't difficult. If you do quick pickles, you can make a big batch and then sterilise them. Effectively that's canning. Actually, that reminds me I should share my preserved apricot and/or clementine recipe which, actually, is canning. BTW, I'll find it or remind me - my post "Pretty Pickle" is basically canning.

That butter and that roselle jam both look divine. I need to try them...

Good evening!

Oh yes, you definitely need to track down some yummy pumpkin when it pops up! There were still plenty of these beauties left even yesterday, so there's a possibility I'll grab another one before the season finishes out. Lots of work, but a true labor of love. I don't mind pumpkin in just about anything either, so it won't go to waste!

I'm sure as soon as I jump on the canning bandwagon I will find my fears were entirely misplaced! I think it's perhaps more a sense of being overwhelmed with the process of trying something new more than fear really. Up to this point I've had plenty of refrigerator and freezer space, too, so it hadn't really been a necessity. Now that I keep expanding my experiments, though, my cold storage is just about full so having a few items that didn't need to be refrigerated would be awesome. I'll keep scouring my favorite Steem folks to get up the nerve to get to business soon. :)

One of these days we'll have to get in the kitchen together. Hhhhmm, that's another good top 3 topic--top Steemians you would love to cook with! 😂

you must try the simple - cook pumpkin slices in coconut milk along with a single green chilly, curry. The pumpkin cooks fast and its great along with hot rice
