A remarkably quick and simple seasonal dish using the pumpkin flesh from all those carved out halloween pumpkins from D G J Tanner Lyburn Farmhouse Cheesemakers , Goodalls Strawberries

Equally good as a starter served with rocket, feta cheese and a drizzle of balsamic dressing or a breakfast alternative served with a dusting of cinnamon sugar
