Don't trash your pumpkins!

This time of year pumpkins are CHEAP! We were actually blessed to receive some free from a field trip this year. 

We use them for a couple of weeks as autumn decorations in our yard, then I bring them in and wash, slice, roast and puree them. 

I put 2 cups of puree into a ziplock bag, and lay it flat to freeze. 

From 3 pumpkins, I now have 40 cups of pureed pumpkin in my freezer for this year.  Not to mention lots of delicious roasted pumpkin seeds that we have been snacking on all week. It's not hard at all, and will save us lots of money.

You can use pureed pumpkin in any of the recipes posted here, as well as MANY others. Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin soup.. the list is endless!
