I am really glad I don't have time to do it this week. I would have been embarrassed.
I'm amazed at these entries.

Using the seed never occurred to me.
I did go to every grocery in Meridian and could not locate a raw pumpkin for sale. I did see several in a display in front of a fabric store on I-20/59 with corn stalks, hay bales and a scarecrow guard. I have inspected the county jail during duty with the Grand Jury and decided I had no desire to visit that facility as am overnight guest, so I used canned pumpkin.

yo Btrtigerfan that orange marmalade/Gran Marnier funnel cake looks killer
very interesting dessert. did you follow the recipe from that site to a T? it sounds like a great flavor. did you use an ice cream maker or just let the mixture freeze? the consistency/texture is throwing me for a loop.

Last night, I made the final dish using the recipe from this site. With an entire can of pumpkin puree, it is almost like a frozen pie. The taste is very close. I let it set overnight, then scooped it for this photo.

seasoned with? also, how did the texture of the seeds as the crust turn out? can't say I've ever had cooked pumpkin seeds, but I've bitten into raw ones and yeesh.
again, great use of ginger in that dressing

Yes. I used the recipe. I froze it in this.
There is no cream in it, and very little liquid. The texture is like a very smooth pie. I suppose you could hold back on some of the pumpkin, and add cream. I didn't have time to fail, and retry; I used the recipe.

I asgree that everything in here looks great! I would eat any of it. I will likely make a few of these for my family in the near future.

Very cool. I need to get me one of those devices. Every time I see an ep of Chopped where they're making some crazy-flavor ice cream I tell myself I'm gonna go pick up an ice-cream machine .. put never pull the trigger.

We have that machine too. I find that you must locate the very coldest freezer location and put it there. Our Freezer bucket is in a big zip lock bag and it lives in the coldest part of our chest freezer, which is the coldest cold place we own.
Also helps a lot at our house if the stuff you are processing is as cold as possible when you out it into the freezer machine. If it is hot at all, it sucks out the cold from the bucket and doesn't work right.
I like the Cuisinart because it does a small batch and I am not in such bad shape when I eat all of it in one night.

What I prepared this weekend is:
Pork Tenderloin brined in a Siracha infused brine. I also made an Orange Marmalade glaze that included orange juice, cranberries and assorted spices.
Also on the menu was Pumpkin Cornbread served with your choice of two different butters. Butter infused with Siracha and one infused with Siracha as well as Orange Marmalade.
Also we had bacon-wrapped asparagus served with a Hollandaise but instead of the normal cayenne in hollandaise, we used Siracha.
Brined for 12 hours
Making of the infused butters. Siracha only on the left and Siracha/Orange Marmalade on the right:
Smoked slow and low (225 but spiked to 260 for about 20 mins) for about 4 hrs. This pic is about 1.5 hrs into the smoking and it had 2 glazings at this point.
Cast iron skillet cornbread. Very easy recipe that I use all of the time but I added pumpkin puree until I liked the flavor of the batter. I'd estimate that I used about 1-1.5 cups of puree.
Sorry about the plating. Was very anxious to eat it all and I rushed the final step of plating! I had a ton more pics and accidentally posted them all on Sunday, but it wouldn't jive with the 5 pic max. (that is jalapeno jelly on top of the finished pork tenderloin steak but that is the glaze on the outside (edge))
