The Pumpkin Solution

Lauren had noticed that my large pumpkin left over from Halloween and said that she had turned hers into french fries when she decided  it was ready.  I asked her to do mine for me before her visit was ended.  On the last day she and her friend Ky did just that ---but they ran out of time while it was still in chunks. I told them to let me finish it.

I reduced their chunks to strips. (see pix), I oil sprayed a cookie sheet and arranged slices in close order.  My final touch was a mixture of cinnamon, clove, ginger and allspice plus sugar.  I hand sprinkled each side and oven baked at 300 degrees to get a maximum of moisture out and be sure they were tender.  A new recipe for me.  Thanks Lauren and Ky.   Elbert
