Lily,
Well I don't have a double boiler so I use my steamer to melt chocolate for truffle and work great. Like your early entry from blogger about steaming turkey and after roasting it with browning glaze.
It was great and ended up with a moist turkey meat ever. I cut it up before steaming and roast it faster too.

hi aunty lily, may i know where to get pumpkin puree and pumpkin spices? Can we make them from fresh pumpkin?
viv
pumpkin comes in a can - get the libby brand.
i make from fresh pumpkin - half the pumpkin, remove the seeds and put the halves on a baking sheet and bake at 350F until soft.
Let it cool and scrape the flesh from the skin. you might have to drain the flesh on a sieve as some pumpkins have more water.

pumpkin spice is a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and clove. make your own mixture with these combination
thanks aunty lily. Do I have to grind them into powder form for the spice?
viv
cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves can be ground but ginger is difficult, try and get powdered ginger.
hi aunty lily,
i have never baked my whole life. recently picked up the interest, and baking is sooo addictive!!
i have been visiting your blog, browsing through the recipes but never really had the courage to try them out.
after baking banana and choc chip muffins, i was somehow craving for a sweet potato muffin.
i modified your recipe(i hope u wont mind!) to replace sweet potato puree instead of pumpkin. also added 2 tbsp of fresh milk.
the result was absolutely delicious!!
thank you so much for your wonderful recipe, im sure to try out more recipes soon!!
Hi
Made the pumpkin muffins today, have never tried anything to do with pumpkin before, but the end result is just great. I steamed the pumpkin instead of baking, and reduced the sugar to only 4 ounces,substituted the pumpkin spices with vanilla, but added the cinnamon as per your recipe. Thanks a lot for your recipe.
