Pickled Pumpkin

39*, feels like 32*, 55% humidity, SSW 12 mph wind, cloudy

Yesterday I told you about one thing you can do with extra pumpkins. I learned of something else as well. A co-worker brought me a jar of something she called sweet and sour marinated pumpkin. She didn't have an exact recipe, she just throws it together when ever she makes it so I did an Internet search and found many recipes for the same thing--- Pumpkin Pickles.

It sounds gross, I know. Mr Hyper wrinkled his nose at the thought of it but really, it tastes amazing. I have no more pumpkins to try my hand at making it but it is definitely on my list of things to can next year!

Basically all you do is cut up and peel pumpkin into cubes (about 1-2") and boil it until a bit tender in a syrup of vinegar and sugar with a cinnamon stick tossed in. You can either can it or keep it in the fridge and eat it as is. It would be GREAT served with turkey on thanksgiving.
