Pumpkin Preserved

Halloween has come and gone, I am thankful to say, and in our local corner store I bought their last pumpkin priced at a bargain £1.01.  This orange 'giant' weighing in at just under 3 kilos is presenting me with a tasty challenge.  Should I choose starters (soup), a main course (risotto), a dessert (pie) or all three.  Or marmalade?

This last option is not as strange as it sounds.  Sophie Grigson's Eat Your Greens is one of my favourite cookbooks (the lady understands allotmenteering) and she provides a recipe for a runny but pleasant 'marmalade' where oranges, pumpkin and sugar are boiled until the mixture is thick enough to pour into jars.  I think I will try it.
