1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
Directions:

2. Place the halves, cut-sides down, on a buttered cookie sheet and bake for 1 hour in an oven preheated to 350 degrees.
3. Scoop out the pumpkin flesh and pass it through a sieve.
4. In a heavy saucepan, combine the pumpkin with the remaining ingredients.
5. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
