More pumpkin?? I mentioned in another post that I stocked up on canned pumpkin when I heard that there might be a shortage. So I'm not quite done with the pumpkin yet! Since the weather is almost seasonable (I should not be able to get away with just a sweater in December in New England) I have been wanting a lot of soup and chili. What a better accompaniment than cornbread? Add pumpkin to that and it's almost perfect.
Another suggestion for this cornbread is to serve it with honey or maple syrup drizzled on top. A deliciously sweet end to a dinner. Or as a quick, on the go breakfast.
