Peel and parboil pumpkin in salted boiling water for 15 minutes, then cut into slices lengthwise and put into an ovenproof dish.

Cook ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup butter and ¼ cup hot water together for 5 minutes.

Pour over the pumpkin and bake in a moderately hot oven of 375 deg. F for about 20 minutes, or until nicely browned, basting occasionally with the syrup.

 

1. Bake or steam the pumpkin, pass through a sieve, add butter, salt, pepper, and egg yolk.
