Preparation:
Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion and garlic until translucent.
Meanwhile blanch the pumpkin in boiling water for about five minutes until it's slightly soft. Plunge into iced water to cool, then drain.
Add the cubed pumpkin to the softened onion together with the spice and stir well.
Once the pumpkin has heated through, add the sugar, vinegar and salt and freshly ground black pepper and bring to the boil.
Simmer for at least 40 minutes, until the pumpkin is really soft and the sugar and vinegar are thickened.
Adjust the seasoning if necessary, stir in the sage and serve when cool.

Pastry
2 2/3 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
7 to 8 tablespoons cold water
Filling and Topping
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (7 medium)
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Preparation:
In medium bowl, mix 2 2/3 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll one pastry round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 10-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, 2/3 cup of the pecans, 1/3 cup flour, the cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add apples; toss to coat. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over apples. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of pie plate.
Roll other round of pastry into 11-inch round. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Unfold pastry over filling; trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute as desired. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking.
In 1-quart saucepan, place brown sugar, remaining 1/3 cup pecans and the half-and-half. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted. Spread over hot pie. Serve warm.

Preparation:
Heat peas and water to boiling in 4-quart Dutch oven. Boil uncovered 2 minutes; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour.
Stir in onion, celery and pepper. Add ham bone. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 1 hour 30 minutes or until peas are tender.
Remove ham bone; remove ham from bone. Trim excess fat from ham; cut ham into 1/2-inch pieces.
Stir ham and carrots into soup. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 30 minutes or until carrots are tender and soup is desired consistency.

Preparation:
Place the roasted pumpkin in a moulis and whiz until you obtain a creamy consistency. Alternatively, mash with a fork or potato masher.
Remove approx. 200g (7¼oz) of this mixture and set aside for the sauce.
Place the rest of the mashed pumpkin and the stock into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and stir in abundant flour as if making polenta. It will be ready when the mixture no longer sticks to the sides of the pan.
Remove from the heat, and allow to cool.
Place the cooled mixture on a clean, rice-floured surface and, with the help of some more rice flour, take large pieces of the dough and roll them into sausage shapes, then slice into 2cm (¾in) squares.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the rosemary until the needles are crispy.
Add the raw pumpkin cubes and sauté for a couple of minutes.
In another frying pan, melt the butter and stir in the sieved pumpkin until heated through.
Drop the fresh gnocchi into the pan of boiling water and simmer until they rise back up to the top. As they come to the surface, lift them out with a slotted spoon, drain well and add to the sieved pumpkin sauce.
To serve, place on individual plates and spoon some of the fried pumpkin and rosemary over each.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil to serve.
 

Preparation:
Heat oven to 400º F. Pierce squash with fork; place in ungreased square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches. Bake uncovered about 1 hour 30 minutes or until tender.
Cook and drain spaghetti as directed on package.
Cut squash lengthwise in half; remove seeds and fibers. Reserve one half for another use. Remove spaghetti-like strands with 2 forks. Toss squash, spaghetti and remaining ingredients. Return spaghetti mixture to squash shell to serve.

Preparation:
Make 16 small slits, each about 1/2 inch wide and 1 inch deep, over surface of lamb. Insert 1 garlic and 1 rosemary piece in each slit using tip of knife. Place lamb in large resealable food-storage plastic bag or shallow glass or plastic dish.
Mix reserved apricot syrup, the wine, oil, 1 tablespoon of the honey and the salt; pour over lamb. Seal bag or cover dish and refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours, turning lamb occasionally.
Heat oven to 325ºF. Remove lamb from marinade; reserve marinade. Place lamb, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of lamb and does not touch bone or rest in fat.
Bake uncovered about 2 hours, brushing once or twice with marinade, until thermometer reads 140°F. Cover lamb loosely with foil and let stand 10 to 15 minutes or until thermometer reads 145°F. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5°, and lamb will be easier to carve.) Reserve 1/4 cup marinade; discard any remaining marinade. Garnish with additional apricot halves and fresh rosemary leaves if desired.
Meanwhile, place apricots in food processor or blender. Cover and process until smooth. In 1-quart saucepan, heat apricots, 1/4 cup marinade, remaining 1 tablespoon honey and the chopped rosemary. Heat to boiling. Boil 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce with lamb.
