It turned out it was really quite simple. I got out my trusty Joy of Cooking book and did just what they said.
Step one: Wash your pumpkin.
Step two: Cut in half and remove seeds. Place on baking sheet, shell up.
Step three: Bake at #25 degrees for one hour or until soft. These pumpkins were not that big so one hour was plenty.
Step four: scrap out the insides. I used a ice cream scoop and it was super easy.
Step five: Process pumpkin until it looks like the baby food you buy. I used my bender for this, you do not even need to add any water. I then scooped out 2 cups of mix and put them in bag and labeled them for the freezer. Super EasyI guess it is a good thing that learned how to do this because where I live pumpkin is a seasonal item and only around in the fall. So now I am stocked up! Stay tuned, now that I have cooked the pumpkin the kids are asking when I will make pie or bread or something with it!
I'm so glad you did this, because now I feel like I can handle it! once my kitchen gets under control that is. . . .
