I can't tell you how in awe I am of that (of course, bear in mind I had a near break down in the kitchen after trying to scoop one out to bake with). <br /><br />Love the ideas you came up with for roasting the seeds.Future Grown-Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00387381290668454597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10509532.post-2954051514091598872009-10-30T10:30:27.684-07:002009-10-30T10:30:27.684-07:00hey punkin seeds...

I'm not all that into Halloween - I just took advantage of the wicked pumpkin sale so I could get some cheap pumpkin puree!<br /><br />@ Bob: These pumpkins were quite stingy, actually, and baked up more like spaghetti squash. That's why I put all the pumpkin through the food processor this time. I usually don't have to do that.Wandering Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478039463695542535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10509532.post-27137040011507760082009-10-30T08:12:18.061-07:002009-10-30T08:12:18.061-07:00That's a lot of puree!

Can't wait to see what you're going to do with it.<br /><br />You know, I tried to make pumpkin puree a while ago and despite leaving the pumpkin in the oven for almost twice as long as every recipe called for they didn't cook all the way. Made for a grainy final product. I wonder why that is.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410982623974521233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10509532.post-39859454796976101002009-10-30T08:09:35.607-07:002009-10-30T08:09:35.607-07:00A great time!
