Pumpkins are native to North America and rank among the oldest known domesticated crops with archeological evidence dating back thousands of years. And while sweet pumpkin dishes usually made from canned pumpkin abound, fresh pumpkin is really one of the most versatile vegetables to cook with. Today, I bring you a savory pumpkin bread pudding made with half of a fresh orange pumpkin and aromatic spices. The pumpkin chunks add a touch of sweetness to balance the tang of cheese and ginger. It might make a good addition to your thanksgiving dinner. Next week, I’ll be back with a sweet bread pudding, also made with fresh pumpkin.
