Gluten Free Pumpkin Kugel

Gluten Free Pumpkin Kugel

This recipe was adapted from a Squash Kugel that was in the KINS cookbook a Shul in Chicago.
In Israel pumpkin is readily available. Most makolets and fruit markets have slices of pumpkin or דְלַעַת in Hebrew. So I decided why not try and make this gluten-full squash kugel into a gluten free pumpkin treat.
It has become one of our go to Kosher Gluten Free recipes. I hope that you family enjoys is as much our family does.
