Pumpkin prep and recipes?
I asked my friend to pick up some pumpkin for a recipe. I expected to
see a tin can of pre-processed pumpkin mush. Instead, I am the proud owner of what must be 25-30 pounds of raw, whole pumpkin. This thing is about 4 times the size of my head. It was apparently cheaper than the can. :-) So what do I do with this monstrous honking gourd? How do I turn it into the nice mush? And, since I have way more of it than I expected, does anyone have any good recipes? And where else can I use the phrase "monstrous honking gourd?" I like it. Thanks and hugs all. -Vioxel pamitySpam Just remove all the spam and such. |

I think I saw Monstrous Honking Gourd open for the Stone Temple Pilots at the Fillmore in the mid '90s... You can make your own pumpkin puree by following the instructions on this link: http://www.pastrywiz.com/thanksgiving/pumkpin.htm I will also now repost a selection of pumpkin recipes for your amusement. |

However, I find it easier (or maybe I should say safer ;-)) to de-seed/string pumpkin (or any winter squash) by using a large-ish metal spoon rather than a knife. You can also peel (pretty time consuming if it's large), dice & boil the pumpkin, then drain & puree but this method requires a second draining after the processing for a really nice thick puree.
