Pumpkin Punch

Happy Halloween everyone! Here’s our new pumpkin punch recipe just in time for the festive celebrations.

We serve our punch in a large pumpkin to make it extra special, but you can serve it in whatever you fancy.

You can find canned pumpkin puree in most supermarkets or you can make your own. Simply peel and deseed a small pumpkin, dice it into chunks, boil until soft then blend or mash. It’s that easy.

Enjoy, Roxy & Ben.
