The only thing I've ever done with pumpkin is pie.

Looking for something else.

I baked and peeled it. I'll toast the seeds this evening.

Pumpkin bread sounds good, so does pumpkin butter.

I'll make some soup too.

I've got a lot of pumpkin!

Thanks, Tazz. This just reminded me that I used to make pasties years ago, loved them and for some reason haven't made them. I'll have to do that this weekend.

Mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. Add shortening and mix again.

ANISE TEA:

PUMPKIN MIX:

2 c. sugar
2 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1 med. pumpkin ( = 2 15-oz. cans of pureed pumpkin)

We bake and salt them dry.

Oh I should mention we get the commercial quality punkins that are used by Libby,McNeal,Libby/Nestle for the punkin pie you buy in the store in cans the cannery is in my town something like 7 of 10 cans sold world wide are produced here.

Any way the punkin is a lot different than the dark red orange ornamental ones bought at Wall-mart or Kroger and such places

Here is a pick of one about to be launched from the now annual punkin chuckin contest note the color almost a kaccky with just a bit of orange tint this is one of the ones for cooking.

Yes, the best pumpkins to use for pie, etc are the ones more like squash. The ones you use for carving, etc are way too stringy to use to make good pulp for pie or bread. Just my opinion, though! happy
