FROM THE
RECIPE:
I am doing just that. I bought a few mini pumpkins and
gourds and turned them into votives, set them on the dining room table
to set the mood. I cooked the flesh down and was left with about half a
cup, which was a little too little for pumpkin pie. I thought about
mixing it with some cream cheese to make a couple of small cheesecakes.
While rummaging through the fridge, I spotted a container of egg
whites, and the package of saffron, next to the almonds. The fridge was
making the recipe up for me, signs of macarons everywhere!!
I needed a little snack to take next door to our weekly neighbors'
gathering and was not sure how the concoction forming in my head would
be received. I settled on lightly infused saffron shells with a simple cream cheese and pumpkin filling with just a touch of cloves.
