One of the benefits of having a vegetable garden is creating recipe mashups with what is available. I have lots of zucchini, tomatoes, and basil every year, but this year I made room for a pumpkin patch. It is getting late in the season, and I really want the plant to focus on the fruit it already has, so I am harvesting the blossoms. The pumpkin blossom sauce may be the best thing I have ever eaten. This made enough for 2 large main-dish servings.
