Ingredients A slice (about one and a half pounds) of a large yellow pumpkin
Directions "Take a slice (about one and a half pounds) of a large yellow pumpkin, peel it and remove the seeds. Cut into small dice and put them into a sauce-pan with one ounce of butter, a pinch of salt, one ounce of sugar, and half a tumblerful of water. Boil for two hours, then drain, and put back into the sauce-pan with one and a half tumblers of well-boiled milk. As soon as it boils pour into the tureen and add croutons." Notes This recipe was taken from "Leaves from our Tuscan Kitchen or, How to Cook Vegetables" by Ann Janet Ross. The book was published by JM Dent & Co. in 1900 (London).
