When you carve your pumpkin, scrape out the pulp that the seeds are attached to and discard it. Save the seeds to be cleaned, salted, spread thin on a baking sheet and baked to a golden
brown at about 250 degrees farenheit. Carve the excess "meat" from the pumpkin, leaving your jack-o'-lantern ½ to 1 inch thick. Put the meat in a pot of water just enough to cover it and cook until
tender.
You may need to keep adding water so they don't burn or stick. Test with a fork for tenderness. When done mash up and follow your recipes for pumpkin pie, bread, muffins or other yummys that I don't
know of.
For smaller pumpkins that don't get carved, cut them in half, scrape them out of seeds and pulp, bake on a pan at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Cover with foil to speed the cooking process. Again,
test with fork for tenderness. They can then be scooped out of their shells and mashed up.
I would love to hear from YOU with your favorite recipes! ~ The Editor
