Savory Chunked Pumpkin - serves 4

1 pound neck-type pumpkin, cut into chunks
1/4 tsp ground mace
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp sweet butter or margarine

Steam pumpkin until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and peel pumpkin, then place in a medium bowl along with mace, thyme, and butter. Toss well to combine but take care not to crush the chunks.
Serve hot over rice. It is fantastic with smoked turkey.
