Halloween Recipes
October 29, 2008
A few of you have emailed me about Halloween recipes. There are a bunch getting dusty in the archives, so I thought I'd bump them back up to the top here. A few of my favorites include:
Caramel Apples - a caramel apple recipe made from apples, honey, cream, and salt - all-natural, with no processed corn syrup or other funky ingredients.
Spice-kissed Pumpkin Pie - a favorite, easy pumpkin pie recipe. Made from a rich, roasted pumpkin and coconut milk base, and baked in a hazelnut-lined crust.
Spooky Ghost Meringues - a fun meringue recipe that enables you to shape the meringue into seasonal shapes - ghosts for halloween, or snowmen for the holidays.
Thai-spiced Pumpkin Soup - From deep in archives, this Thai-spiced Pumpkin Soup couldn't be easier to make - roasted winter squash, coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, and sea salt come together in a pot of vibrant, rich, flavorful soup. Total crowd pleaser.
Toasted Pumpkin Seeds - Don't let all those pumpkin seeds go to waste, toasting pumpkin seeds is easy. Here are a few different flavor combinations: Sweet & Spicy Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, Black Tea & Butter Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, and Curried Toasted Pumpkin Seeds.
Roasted Pumpkin Salad - A roasted pumpkin salad made with wild rice, tiny, caramelized red onions drizzled with a simple, honey-kissed, creamy sunflower seed dressing. A colorful harvest salad perfect for Fall festivities.
Here is where all the pumpkin recipes live. Some are also filed under: winter squash recipes as well. Happy Halloween!
For those of you curious about the photo, Wayne and I went to our friend Dan's house the other night to carve pumpkins. I printed out our initials, taped them to the pumpkins, and used a pin to transfer the design - pricking in the shape through the paper. Carving was relatively easy from there - no fingers lost in the process ;)...
Never miss a recipe!

Tabitha (From Single to Married) said:Great photo - and I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself while carving! :) I love all of these recipes but especially the pumpkin seeds - my favorite!
Denise said:I totally forgot about the Spooky Ghost Meringues! I saw them last year after the fact and wanted to make them - Thanks for the reminder ;o
Too bad the neighborhood moms probably wouldn't allow their kids to eat any toasted pumpkin seeds I could give out. I remember when I was a kid it was ok to trust homemade or unwrapped treats!
I love your pumpkin pie and the spooky ghost meringues! in fact, I've linked to both of them in my posts!:)
PS: the no-fingers-lost-carving technique is good!:)
Janice said:There are two acorn squash on my counter that would be perfect for your Thai-spiced pumpkin soup. Thanks!
By the way, what lovely carved pumpkins.
HS: Thanks Janice :)
Thanks for putting together this page. I'm planning to make the pumpkin pie this weekend.
I thought the initials stood for HalloWeen before I read the article :)
Danielle said:I made your caramel apples last weekend. They were pretty good, but the honey was quite strong. Would agave nectar work, or some mixture of both honey and agave nectar to cut back on the strength of the honey's flavor?
Thank you for your pumpkin recipes - I don't love fresh pumpkin much and never have any idea on what to do with it in order to make it delicious (and I do believe it is possible, you only need to know how)
Srividya said:I just saw your Thai spiced pumpkin soup. We had a similar pumpkin soup last winter in Zurich at one of their vegetarian restaurants - Hiltl - It had coconut milk, ginger and lemon grass and was heavenly on a cold winter day !
Heidi, thanks for rounding up and recommending your Halloween/autumn recipes. I'm not a big Halloween fan, but I *do* love autumn foods.
