We're a bit like Thermomixer. A friend brought us back a lovely Jap pumkin from Carnarvon and we cut it last night. Pumpkin recipes are on this week.

DH often has one of these for breakfast.I put the nuts in this time and he asked me "what the big bits were"?Honestly!!

CC have just a couple of queries notes. I'm supposing the pumpkin should be cooked, and then pureed? (which I will do now as I prob won't hear from you for a few hours) and also in Step 3...Bacardi  no wonder your DH has one of these for brekky  (so I am assuming you meant bicarb)

PS. Now that they are out of the oven... so soft and delicious! Thanks CC for a lovely recipe

CC,  these look great.  I have a question also.   How do you manage to be so clean and neat when filling the cases??
