Baked Pumpkin Pudding

We made this close to Halloween, but of course it would be great around Thanksgiving too. The recipe came from a search on the Light and Tasty web site. Click on the link to get the recipe. If you don't have egg substitute, then use egg whites, or whole eggs. Another note, my custard cups are all smaller than 8 0z. so I got 7 puddings out of this recipe instead of 5, and the cooking time was a little longer than stated, so go by the "knife in the center coming out clean test" to check for readiness. This dish is like pumpkin pie without the crust, but all the wonderful smell and taste. True comfort!
These recipes will hopefully give you some ideas about how to use produce from your garden or farmer's market. There are also other recipes that are simply here because they are our favorites, or someone made a request at the last church lunch! I'd like to encourage you to alter these recipes to suit your own tastes, your family's needs, and to use what you have on hand. Therefore, some of my recipes will not have exact measurements. So...if any of the recipes leaves you scratching your head, just send me an email and I'll try to answer your question. HappyGrowing@eatingfromthegarden.com
