I have been getting the Organic food boxes for a few weeks and you never know what you might end up with. I am splitting them with my neighbor. Here is how much half is.

In one of the boxes was a pumpkin and I wasn’t sure what to do with it at first but here is what I figured out.

 

How to Make Pumpkin Puree

First I scooped out the pumpkin seeds with an ice cream scoop.

Then I washed the off in a colander. Once they were cleaned off I spread them out on a baking stone and sprinkled them with salt. I baked them at 325 for about twenty minutes. My kids enjoyed their roasted pumpkin seeds snack.Next, I wash off the outside of the pumpkin and placed it in a baking dish with quite a bit of water. I put the lid on (even though it didn’t actually sit right until halfway through cooking it) and microwaved it for twenty minutes.

 

Once it was soft I basically squished it out of the shell and into a mixing bowl where I then mixed it for about five minutes with a mixer. With the puree, we then made bread maker Pumpkin bread.
