Pumpkins are one of my favorites things of autumn. They've got this huge range of forms, colours and flavours!!! They're just sooo pretty aaand yummy too. You can prepare all sort of dishes, a nice creamy spicy soup, a luxurious pumpkin-orange bread even bodybutter if you mix the flesh with a bit of coconut cream and almond oil, they are just amazing.
Here in México, we prepare "calabaza en tacha" by boiling it with Piloncillo ( sort of double molasses) cinnamon and some people add
aniseed (I even add a bit of ginger) till a thick syrup is formed and pumpkin is tender.
Piloncillo
piloncillo + cinnamon+ aniseed+water +pumpkin
= calabaza en tacha
