Pumpkin
It turns out you can do quite a bit with pumpkin (like amost anything you can do with butternut squash). Of course, Pumpkin Pie is my favorite thing to do with sugar pumpkins. Though pumpkins last quite a while, they don't last forever, so some processing is in order.
- Slice the pumpkin in half.
- Remove (and reserve) the seeds. You might want to toast these.
- Place flesh side up in a baking dish.
- Add about an inch of water.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
- Depending on the size of the pumpkin, microwave on high for 15 to 30 minutes. Pumpkins are done when they are fork-tender.
- Scrape the flesh from the skin and store. I use the vacuum seal bags and freeze them.
Puree for pumpkin pie or soup.
