Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

- #50108
 
ingredients
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 large egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
directions
Whisk together sugar, flour, and salt. Set aside. 
 Put buttermilk and yolks in a small saucepan. Gradually whisk in sugar mixture and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Stir in vanilla, zest, and lemon juice. 
 Pour cream into a bowl set in an ice-water bath. Let cool completely, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use, up to 2 days.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
