This month I really spaced and forgot to post my recipe for my friends’ Linkup! Ops!
The theme is “Spread The Joy”, because everybody loves receiving home-made goodies. Enjoy these easy Jewish Italian Pumpkin (or butternut squash) treats: an old Jewish italian recipe perfect for this season!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs cubed butternut squash or pumpkin
- about 2 cups sugar
- pinch of salt
- pinch of cinnamon, if liked
- chocolate sprinkles or/and crystal sugar to decorate
Directions
Bake the pumpkin in the oven at 350 F wrapped in foil until soft.
Mash it and, if possible, weigh it and combine it with the same weight in sugar (if not, use about 2 cups). Cook on low heat in a heavy pot (I like enameled cast iron), stirring constantly, until it starts darkening. Remove from the heat, add the spices if liked, and allow to cool.
With a wet watermelon baller or coffee spoons make small balls, roll them in the crystal sugar first and in the dark chocolate sprinkles second, and arrange in mini baking cups.

Questi dolcetti diffondono davvero la gioia! Sono bellissimi e deliziosi! Complimenti e buona giornata! <3
These look good enough to eat. I do love pumpkin squash in sweet and savory dishes.
Very interesting…another new way for pumpkin, and they’re beautiful, too!
I am soooo curious to try these! What’s the texture like?
What a wonderful treat!
They sound so delicious!
I have to try these, they are just delectable!
I love anything mini! That means I can eat a bunch, right? I love the orange ‘glow’ to these 🙂
