I have a friend that recently returned from Germany working as a sign language interpreter for several months.  She brought back this cute little jar of Kürbiskernpesto.  Looking at the picture outside of the jar and seeing “pesto,” I knew it was a pumpkin-related condiment of some sort.  After several tries online to translate from German to English, I tried going backwards and figured it out on the first try!

Intrigued with my new find, I want to go online to find out some information about the use of pumpkin seed pesto.  Many sites have recipes for fresh versions of the pesto.  What I have is clearly cooked.  I’ll have to be careful with how I use this I’m-sure-to-be-delicious condiment.  It might be too strong for fish.  However, I’ve found a good recipe online for a roasted squash recipe that uses this condiment.  I think I’ll try it that way.  Cut up a butternut squash into pieces that can be skewered.  Then, roast squash and spread a little pesto on each roasted piece.  I can’t wait!!!
