Poached Pumpkin

Welcoming October with poached pumpkin dessert with walnuts.

Ingredients:

• Kent or Japanese pumpkin
• sugar
• walnuts

Instructions:

1. Slice pumpkin wedges and seed and peel the wedges. Cut the pumpkin wedges into 1-1 1/2 inch cubes. Place pumpkin cubes into a pan. Sprinkle the sugar over the pumpkin generously. Sugar pumpkin weight ratio should be about one to two but adjust based on the sweetness of the pumpkin. Cover the pan and allow to sit for 3-4 hours or over night. The sugar will draw out an amazing amount of liquid from the pumpkin.
2. . Cook over low heat for 30 minutes.
3. Bake for 20 minutes at 300°F oven.
