I have four of them... yep, they were given to me yesterday as I bought some farm apples... they wanted to get rid of them and asked me if I wanted carving pumpkins or pie pumpkins... I said pie one... and they gave me four! LOL!

Sooo... what do you do with them? I know you can roast them like spaghetti squash (baking dish with water) ~ but... once you scoop them out, do you eat like it is or.... can I use to make Sandi's muffins? LOL! Give me some ideas...

Do they have a lot of seeds? I imagine not....

*drooling*

I just cut them in half, put a little water in them, bake for about an hour at 350. Peel, puree and freeze. Use like you would any canned pumpkin! Of course you can make muffins with them.

I do the same thing. You can make muffins, pies, pumpkin butter...

When you puree it, it's the same thing as the pumpkin puree you buy in the can.

Pumpkin latte ...? And you would do that how? Sounds yummy.

I used a stick blender. Worked great.
