Jude's Kitchen: Pumpkin Recipes You'll LOVE This Halloween

If you've carved a few pumpkins this year with the kids, or the grandchildren, you might be loathed to simply throw them away after the trick and treaters have gone - it feels like such a waste, doesn't it?

Apparently around 18000 tonnes of pumpkins are thrown away each year - that's around 360 million slices of pumpkin pie.

So rather than throw them away, we've done the work for you and rounded up our favourite recipes for you to try this Halloween. Each of the recipes we've chosen here for you not only champion the use of leftover pumpkin but also offers a bladder-friendly boost of this wonderful but way too often overlooked squash.

Now, the only thing left to decide is exactly which one you'll make first...
