Hi Jennifer, I haven’t tested with pumpkin as an addition and don’t recommend lowering the sugar.

If I wanted to add roasted pumpkin for Thanksgiving, how would I have to alter the recipe? Or, can I just add it to the recipe? I have made this just as it is 3 times and we love it! Is it safe to lower the sugar amount even more?
Thanks

Hi Kathleen, I haven’t tested that substitution. The amount might need to be adjusted.

Hi Kathleen, this recipe need the more refined granulated white sugar.

Thanks!

Can I substitute flour for cornstarch to make this gluten-free (versus gluten-free flour)?

1 teaspoon is 5ml not 15ml.

1 cup is 250ml
1 teaspoon is 15ml
400 F degrees is 205 C

Hi Susan,

I’d suggest using the guideline of 8 ounces in *volume* (not weight) for a cup. That’s pretty standard when a recipe calls for one cup.

I’ve personally found it very helpful to use the internet when I want to convert measurements to something with which I’m more familiar. For example, I could type “400 Fahrenheit to Celsius” and then use the answer in my cooking. It takes a little more preparation on my end at first. It’s been pretty effective for me, and I get a quick answer.

Best wishes in your cooking adventures, awesome people in the U.K. and across the world! I hope you have fun and can enjoy delicious results!
