I was wonder if someone could tell me how to use a real pumkin for making something. How do I process getting the pumkin out and cooking with it?

Beverly its yummy. I dont think the candy usually has spices, but I bet it would be yummy. I might make some and then dice it up and put it in cookies. It would be yummy! |

Thanks Diane
I bought a pie pumpkin today and was wondering if it could be frozen.
I don't know where it was posted about a pumpkin shortage, but at
the store today there was two different brands of canned pumpkin, and fresh pie pumpkins.

I hope this isn't a silly question. I've never used fresh pumpkin other than decorating and roasting the seeds, how do you know when a pumpkin is "ripe" or ready for cooking? |

My apologies if what is offered on the websites is a repeat of this, but I did three pumpkins yesterday. I just wash them up, cut them into big pieces, trim off the inside pith/seeds and bake on a cookie sheet. Just watch them, as the water that comes out can overflow the cookie sheet (you should see my nice cleaned oven today...sheesh!). Anyway, when they are done, I scrape the cooked pulp from the rind into a cheesecloth-lined strainer and let the water drain off...you will be surprised at how much water comes out of it. I then puree and use just like you would canned. I usually freeze in 2 cup bags, it freezes like a dream. I even bake it into yeast breads...just substitute pumpkin puree for half of the liquid in your recipe. Ta dah!!

I usually cut it in half-scoop out the seeds-then I microwave it til soft-3-4 minutes at a time so it does not burn-then I scoop out the pulp & mix with a mixer or you could run it through a food processer-this gives you fresh pumpkin pulp with no spices, preservatives, sugar etc. I hope this helps.
