The guys who celebrate Halloween probably have lotsa pumpkin left over in the freezer, this is what you use it for!
The following recipe was prepared as dessert by the South African Barbeque Team at the 2000 World Barbeque Championships in Tennessee. It appeared in the Citizen Newspaper and is originally from Lannice Snyman's book, Rainbow Cuisine. I love Amarula, they have a worldwide distribution network, take a look at their website . Do yourself a favour and order a bottle (or more!)
