A dessert from Kenya. You may want to add the sugar gradually and adjust to your taste. NOTE: A medium-sized (4-pound) sugar pumpkin should yield about 1 1/2 cups of mashed pumpkin.
Ingredients:
1 medium sugar pumpkin, seeded and cubed
2 cups white sugar
1 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Directions:
1. Steam the pumpkin pieces for 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Scoop flesh from skins.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin flesh and sugar.
4. Heat over medium-low temperature until sugar dissolves into the pumpkin. Add coconut and cardamom.
5. Stir often.
6. Cook until the mixture has thickened to thick pudding-like consistency.
