Well, this recipe proves [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Edward_Hickson Hickson] was correct:

Tis a lesson you should heed:
Try, try, try again.
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try, try again

The first time I tried this recipe it was an abject failure and ended as [[Buying point of lay hens|chicken feed]]. This time is worked as I originally hoped. Absolutely gorgeous. It doesn't look that wonderful, but I only care what it tastes like. The first failure was just due to very large, very hard [[squashes]] that failed to soften properly, even after cooking for more than an hour. This time I used smaller squashes.

It is an ideal way to find an alternate recipe for your glut of home grown [[squashes]] or [[pumpkins]].
