    Need help finding tins (or cartons) of pumpkin puree in Dublin preferably. I've looked everywhere I can think of at this stage! Thanks

    I'm almost certain I've seen it in Fallon & Byrne, on the baking sheft near the butcher counter.

    I've made my own before. I make pumpkin soup quite regularly and boil chopped up pumpkin with some onions and garlic. You need to boil them for a while until they can be easily mashed. This makes a nice puree. To turn in to soup add cream.

    Can pumpkins be easily found in supermarkets in Ireland though? I seem to remember they can't - only at Halloween. We buy them in our weekly shop here in quarters but they are different to the ones I've seen at home - they have green skin.

    As well as soup we roast pumpkin with the Sunday roast veggies. Can't beat it!

    I am surprised to hear that F&B does not have it at the moment. I bought two cans of pumpkin puree here in Dublin some time ago and I am pretty sure I got it in F&B. It could have been in the months after Halloween though so perhaps that is why they had it. If you need it for pumpkin pie or similar you can make your own by baking pumpkin for a good while and then mashing it. It tried that before for a pie and it turned out really well.

    Yep, I've definitely seen it there. Maybe they only have it in around Thanksgiving?

    American Marshmallow Fluff? That's quite easy to make, it's basically just meringue. There's a recipe here, or you could use italian meringue, which is similar but the sugar syrup cooks the egg whites, stabilising it and making it last longer.
