Pumpkins are good eating!

Pumpkin mix is SO easy to make why did I never do this before? From what I've found out canning just pumpkin guts is bad. I haven't done too much digging but what I have found out is it freezes really well if it is protected correctly. I purchased a few pumpkins from a local grower and decided to give it a shot.

Opened but not seeded pumpkin.


Guts taken out seeds saved for later roasting.


I cut the pumpkin into quarters to fit on the baking sheet better.


After roasting them for about an hour I took it out and checked to see if it was done. The test fork should slide into the pumpkin flesh like warm butter and a hot knife. Then take the pumpkins out and I ran mine through the food processor so that it isn't stringy.


I measured out the pumpkin mush into 2 cup containers to freeze. This way I can take out 2 cups at a time to make pumpkin bread/pie... or whatever. Add seasonings and go.
