Winter Pumpkin
per kilogram
Description
Winter pumpkins are a delicious addition to your cold season meal. Choose red or green compact versions of this special cultivar to cook Heaven-and-Earth Tempura Cakes or Pumpkin Puree with Ginger. Its distinctive bottom with a circular ridge, though, gives it away. On some, the ridge may surround a more pronounced bump, or "turban." A freshly cut buttercup may smell like a clean, fragrant cucumber, but once cooked, its orange flesh becomes dense, a bit dry, and very mild.

Special Recipe
Mini Puff Pastry Apple Roses
1-2 Empire Apples, cored and sliced as thin as possible
Squeeze of lemon juice
Flour, to dust
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- Lightly butter a muffin tin. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Place the apple slices in a bowl with the lemon juice and cover with water. Microwave until the slices are slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
- Lightly flour your workspace and roll out the puff pastry as thin as possible, keeping it in a rectangular shape. You want the pastry to be fairly thin – if you leave the puff too thick, it will have issues baking all the way through. Trim the pastry into 6 or 12 strips, depending on if you are making mini or regular roses.
-
Mix the apricot preserves with 2 tablespoons of hot water and stir well. Brush onto the puff pastry. Place the apple slices on the puff, about halfway down, overlapping. Sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon, if using. Fold up the puff pastry and gently roll up, placing into the prepared tin when done.
- Bake until puff is golden brown and cooked through, 40-45 minutes. If the apples start to brown too much, cover with a piece of foil. Remove, let cool, and enjoy!
