leftover pumpkins?

[Guest guest]

So, are any of you all turning your left over pumpkins into some sort of

fabulous raw dish?

So far, I've made pumpkin seed pate, curried pumpkin soup, and am getting ready

to create some sort of dehydrated pumpkin cookie.

 

Anybody else??

 

Cheers,

I just discovered that pumpkin will produce juice (without having to

go through the trouble of peeling), so I'm juicing it with apple and

adding the regular pumpkin pie spices. It's tasty. I'll probably go

to goneraw.com and look for other recipes. Since I've been on a CSA,

I've received lots of different squashes, so this will be a good

resource for some of the same things you've made.

 

Does anyone have a fast way to peel the hard squashes and pumpkins? I

used to soften the skin by baking when I used to cook, but now the

only way I've discovered is to freeze sliced pieces and then cut the

meat out when it's thawed enough. That works okay for blended/

processed recipes, tho not for other things.

LOVE the pumpkin apple juice idea!

I'll try that tomorrow.

 

Thanks!
