Sweet Winter

Monday's are my cooking days. I usually like to try out new recipes so today I decided to make pumpkin pie. A friend from work gave me this recipe - she brought some of the pie to lunch and gave me some to try. Its a typical afrikaans dish. I absolutely loved the sweet smooth texture. It melts in your mouth! Yum. Like pudding :)

Mine turned out pretty good too. I served the pumpkin pie with rice and meatballs. A delicious hearty winter dinner!

Here is the recipe (the original is in Afrikaans but I translated it):

I spent the evening sitting round the fireplace...the joys if winter :)

Keep warm!
