PORTUGUESE PUMPKIN PRESERVES
This recipe was designed for something that happens only about every 125 years: the collision of Thanksgiving and the first day of Hanukkah, an event that presents both a celebratory conundrum and culinary opportunity. Of course, you don't have to wait (the last time it happened was in 2013). These preserves are a perfect topping for latkes, but you can just as easily incorporate them into your breakfast routine. Best of all, the recipe takes less than an hour, and will make your house smell like the essence of fall.

Steps:
- In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the squash, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Simmer over medium heat until squash is tender and most liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat; using a potato masher or fork, smash the squash until completely broken up. Stir in lemon juice. Return pot to heat and simmer until most liquid has evaporated and squash develops a pasty consistency, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard cinnamon stick.

PORTUGUESE SQUASH (OR PUMPKIN) FRITTERS - FOREVERMAMA
My mom used to make fritters much like these when I was growing up and it evokes great memories for me. Unfortunately she never measured anything and she didn't leave written instructions for her recipe. So I've been searching and experimenting fritters that resemble hers. These are close. She would make these when she had leftover squash. She never did make them with pumpkin, but made them using buttercup squash. I made these using leftover buttercup squash from Christmas dinner

Steps:
- In a bowl, add the squash or pumpkin. Add all remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
- Depending on the wetness of your squash or pumpkin you may need to add the milk. (The consistency should be a bit thicker than pancake batter). Mix all ingredients well.
- Place enough oil in a deep fry pan and heat. Drop full teaspoonful's of batter into the hot oil. Be careful to not have the oil too hot because it will overcook the outside and not the inside. The oil should be hot enough to cook through until lightly browned/golden.
- Place fritters on paper towels to absorb oil.
- Roll each fritter thoroughly in cinnamon sugar mixture. I place these in a corning ware with a lid and add more sprinkled sugar/cinnamon on top. Time turns the sugar/cinnamon into a syrup and they're yum that way too.
