Stewed Pumpkin
This recipe is adapted from Giving Thanks: Thanksgiving Recipes and History, from Pilgrims to Pumpkin Pie. This recipe comes from John Josselyn, an early traveler to New England. Stewed pumpkin was common, everyday fare - a “standing dish” - particularly in the fall and winter.
  • 4 cups squash or pumpkin, cooked and mashed
  • 4 T. unsalted butter
  • 2 T. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 to 2 T. ground ginger, or any combination of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and/or pepper to taste.
  • 1 t. salt
Place the squash, butter, vinegar, and spices in a saucepan over low heat. Stir and heat until all of the ingredients are well-combined and hot. Adjust the seasonings to your liking and serve.
