Baked Pumpkin Slices

Submitted by Kewlgranny

"I posted a request for a recipe similar to this and then “Googled” it for days. This is what I found that I think is pretty close to the pumpkin that was served on a buffet in a Japanese Restaurant in Los Vegas. I can't wait to try it."

We tried this out this evening - out of 6 people, only 1 thought it was ok. (Since it was me, I decided on 3 stars; the rest of the family would have given it an average of 1.) Definitely needed a longer cooking time for us as the thinner slices weren't cooked all the way through. We're saving the slices and will try to use the rest of it in cake, sweet bread or pie so we can get some use out of them.
