These last few months has been hectic, and once again I am reminded how
precious time really is. I think the greatest gift you could give someone you
love is your time. I love to show I care by taking time to do things for
people. One of the things I love to do is making their favourite dishes. The
dish I’m about the share today, my dad absolutely loves.
I love pumpkin pie, but I always try and find a way to make a dish
healthier yet keep it tasty. I think I got this one right.

| Pumpkin and Butternut Pie - as you can see it was a hit! |
Pumpkin and Butternut Pie
Ingredients:
250g Steamed Pumpkin
400g Steamed Butternut
1 teaspoon Butter/Margarine
2 teaspoons Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
200ml Milk
1 heaped tablespoon Custard Powder
Sugar and cinnamon mix to “dust” the pie with. (Mix it 3:1, for every
5ml of cinnamon use 15ml of sugar. This is good to use on pancakes as well.)
Method:
- First steam the Pumpkin and butternut and mash it together, I use my hand blender to get a smooth consistency.
- Next add the butter, sugar and cinnamon and mix well.
- Lastly dissolve the custard powder in the milk and add to the pumpkin mix.
- Pour it into a baking dish, and lightly dust with a sugar and cinnamon mix.
- Bake in a 180 degrees Celsius oven for 30 minutes.
- Take it out to cool slightly before serving.
I hope you enjoy this recipe, I know what I’m making for Christmas…
