 PUMPKIN BISQUE WITH CRÈME FRAÎCHE
by Beverly the Gothic Gourmet 1 c. pumpkin puree
1 1/4 c. chicken broth
2 c. water
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 c. heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper
In medium saucepan sauté onion in butter until translucent, not brown. Add, chicken broth, water, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add cream. Gently heat bisque until hot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In large tureen (or individual bowls), gently add a dollop of Crème Fraîche and with the tip of a sharp knife pull a line, curve, or design from the center out. Repeat, cleaning the knife between lines.
CRÈME FRAÎCHE
1 cup whipping cream, room temperature
1 tablespoon buttermilk or 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
In a jar with a lid, place whipping cream and buttermilk (or sour cream); cover securely and shake 15 seconds. Set aside at room temperature for 24 hours or until very thick. Stir once or twice during that time. NOTE: Cream will thicken faster if the room is warm.
Stir thickened creme fraiche well. Refrigerate at least 6 hours before serving. Cover tightly and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
FYI: Canned Pumpkin Puree may usually be found in the canned foods section and Crème Fraîche in the dairy section of your market.
AT THE VISITORS' GATE~ On a very cold November evening in the charming Oak Knolls neighborhood of Monterey, California, I caught a chill from the deep fog that surrounded the Victorian House I was about to enter.The brightly painted house had been converted into a business but still retained the warmth and inviting quality that I associate with an old-fashioned Thanksgiving. As I opened the door, I was greeted by a friend who was just leaving, and after speaking for a few moments, we embraced and she left through the front door, leaving it slightly ajar.
I stepped forward to the visitors’ gate which she had also left open, but I did not enter – pausing for the attention of the employees inside. As an employee rounded the corner, I received a warm but firm shove towards the gate. As I whipped around, sure to see my friend had returned, I was greeted by no one. Again, I whipped around to look at the employee. There she stood, eyes large and round, frozen in place.
“Does this happen often here?” I asked, instantly knowing that a spectral resident of the house had been the behind me.“They told me it happens a lot, but this is the first time I’ve seen it happen to someone.” Her voice was unsteady and she still hadn’t moved.
“It felt like a friendly woman pushing me as if to say, ‘Don’t just stand there. Come in!’” As I write this, I can feel the memory of her handprint on my shoulder.The young woman just nodded and said, “I’m not supposed to talk about it.”
Since that time, as Thanksgiving approaches and thoughts turn to cozy fireplaces on cold nights, I imagine that friendly Victorian lady welcoming me into her home and the hospitality she would have shown me.When I told this story to my mother, she thought of the Pumpkin Bisque that she makes every Autumn. I remember the aroma filling the air, and the rich flavor was very gratifying. In the keeping with the Victorian tradition of decorating food, I’ve added Crème Fraîche as the finishing touch.
