21 Waste-Busting Pumpkin Recipes For Halloween And Beyond 🎃

With Halloween around the corner, many of you will be carving pumpkins and placing them on your windowsills and doorsteps to entice trick-or-treaters.

As you begin carving your Jack O’ Lanterns, remember, ‘don’t dump the guts!’. In the UK alone, over 18,000 tonnes of perfectly edible squash is dumped in the bin every year, but there’s so much you can do with the stringy, succulent innards (if fact, you can eat everything, but the stalk). We’ve joined forces with Hubbub’s #PumpkinRescue campaign because we believe a pumpkin is not just for Halloween.

Check out these devilish delights that are guaranteed to make the most of your pumpkins this Halloween and beyond.
