Guest guest Report post Posted November 18, 2009 so i'm at the spot where i need help. i have a few pumpkins, friends that think it's cute to give the veg-head those pumpkins. HA, i'm going to use them this year. so i am ready to cut them in half, place face down on a cookie sheet (parchment paper covered), bake until tender. this might take a while, i have 2 that are under 2 pounds, 1 that is about 3 or 4 pounds and another that is over 10 pounds. i have decided that for me, baking would be the easiest way to go with them. so okay, they get baked in the oven 350oF. they become soft, mushy even, so what after that? do i scoop out the pulp?, do i mash it with a hand blender?, what? how do i keep it then? can i freeze it at this point or do i need to do something else to it? and just what will i do with it? make it into a pie? that would be a good choice for my family. what if i wanted to make a soup? please any help would be welcomed at this point. i am determined that these wonderful pumpkins will NOT go to waste!! thanks for any and all help . . . qupla' hm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
