Versatile Pumpkin - A Star
In More Than Pie
Americans are passionate about pumpkin pie, particularly
at Thanksgiving, but lately they’ve discovered how
delicious this versatile ingredient is in a host of other
dishes that can be enjoyed all year long. From tasty soups,
pancakes and waffles, to fabulous desserts such as an elegant
pumpkin cream pie or a pumpkin
swirl cheesecake, LIBBY’S
Pumpkin, celebrating its 75th
anniversary
this year, is a natural cooking partner because it complements
so many different flavors. With pumpkin on the ingredient
list, the distinctive orange color, creamy texture, moistness
and mellow taste can enhance any number of dishes.
Along with
bright color, LIBBY’S canned pumpkin contributes
a creamy texture and moistness that makes baked goods soft,
tender and luxurious. That’s
because the naturally high water content of pumpkin serves as a source of moisture,
lending subtle flavor and moistness to pumpkin cakes and cookies. It enhances
the texture of pumpkin muffins, breads and other treats like LIBBY’S
Pumpkin Roll.
Pumpkin is also a natural flavor carrier. This means it
easily takes on the essence of sweet spices such as nutmeg,
cinnamon or ginger, as well as
savory
ones like curry, sage and turmeric. That’s why pumpkin pie and other
pumpkin desserts carry such seductive spicy aromas. In savory dishes, pumpkin
never overpowers
flavors; it merely enhances them with its subtle taste.
Pumpkin dishes are
just coming into their own and people are continuing to discover that pumpkin
offers something for everyone. The exotic and adventuresome
chef
can experiment with Pumpkin Curry Soup or Italian
Pumpkin Strata. Because
children love pumpkin too, check out our kid-friendly, delicious and nutritious
pumpkin
recipes including Pumpkin Cookies or Sweet
Pumpkin Dip. Pumpkin can also
make beautiful and unique recipes such as Vermont Spice Cake and Pumpkin
Caramel
Flan.
