Q
What ways can I use pumpkin to create healthy meals and desserts?
A
Aside from using pumpkins to create magnificent pieces of art, they can be a nutritious part of your meals this October. Half a cup of 100% pure pumpkin purée has 100% DV vitamin A, 10% DV iron, and is a source of fibre.
All pumpkins are edible; however, the larger carving varieties have a stringy, watery flesh and are not as sweet. They can be puréed in soups and baked goods. Pumpkins with sweeter meat are smaller, such as Sugar Pie, New England Pie, Baby Pam Pumpkin or Cinderella Pumpkin.

novelty because we had an all-girl trio and she knew this really, really fun drummer. And so the three of us, on our breaks, would go upstairs to the (Empire) Room and watch the Supremes, with their gorgeous sequined dresses and beautiful vocals.” She says the famous group recognized the young trio and would smile at them. “Every chance we had, we’d go upstairs and watch them,” says Jaré. The gig lasted just short of two months. Jaré was leaving Chicago for Canada to get married and her agent was less than enthused. “Muriel Abbott, an elderly woman with a hair net, I’ll never forget, was Jack Jones’ agent. She was totally furious when I had to leave,” says Jaré. “We almost had to laugh inside the way she was carrying on.We could have had that standing gig for a long time.” Some of Jaré’s favorite memories now happen in the moment when she’s performing. “When there’s some magical moments that
happen and the group is feeding off each other, or I should say the interplay of spontaneous, in the moment, solos,” Jaré says. Recently she has had some great moments with her other band, SoulTrax. “At Harmony Arts Festival this last August, the band seemed to have the happening chemistry on our last tune,” she says. “The crowd kept shouting ‘more,’ but we had to move on for the next group. It was a very meaningful performance.” Besides SoulTrax and quartet work, Jaré also does solo and duo work, and continues trio work, though no longer with her sister. She enjoys the experience of interchanging between the groups. “That’s really the fun part because it gives you that opportunity to do all the crossovers and then of course it shows the versatility of these musicians, they’re not stuck into one genre,” says Jaré. “I think it gives you a lot more spontaneity and it makes one have to do a lot more research into it, and helps you to become so much better and improved as
a musician.” Jaré, playing a B3 organ, will be reuniting with Gubbels and Allen in November for a tribute to Shirley Scott and Jimmy Smith at CoryWeeds’ Cellar Jazz Club, along with fellow musicians trumpeter Chris Davis and saxophonist Dave Say. She is also hoping to do some more composing. “I definitely want to do another CD,” she says. “I’d like to do an album of originals, maybe include one standard, with some of these incredible, exquisite musicians that I have been blessed to perform with.” Jaré finds when she’s composing, inspiration comes from a variety of sources. “I guess it would be like a writer where things would just happen, it sometimes happens very, very quickly, spontaneously, and other times you really have to work at it,” she says. “You’ll come across a dead end, like a bridge of a song, and say ‘this doesn’t sound right,’ but after you go back and leave it and come back the next day, it all tends to gel. Or I should say it comes into place.”
