Answer: You boil them...
And puree them...
Yes, I have recently tried something new: pureeing 2 large pumpkins, in attempt to see how many pumpkin recipes I could create. And boy did it make a lot of pumpkin puree.
It's hard to believe that you can do more with a pumpkin than carve your usual jack - o - lantern or eat your regular pumpkin pie each Thanksgiving. So here it goes...11 THINGS YOU CAN MAKE WITH A PUMPKIN! By the way, all these recipes turned out great and I would recommend all of them! They were so good. I had no idea you could make these things with pumpkin. All of them were recipes I found online except for the pumpkin shakes and pumpkin herbal tea was my own creation and the pumpkin soups were taking ideas from recipes here and there and changing them with a twist. So let me know if you would like any of the recipes and I would gladly share them. So here we go...
NUMBER 1 The Classic Pumpkin Cookies
NUMBER 2: Pumpkin Seeds (sweet on the left, salty on the right)(featured with random pumpkin thing in the middle)
NUMBER 3: Pumpkin Lasagna! (with wine, maybe that's why it was so tasty...)
I know it sounds crazy people! But it was a favorite among many!!
NUMBER 4: Pumpkin waffles. mmmmm...tasty
NUMBER 5: Cream of pumpkin soup
NUMBER 6: Pumpkin shakes. This was a favorite, I recreated it another day by popular demand. The blend of ice cream, milk, pumpkin, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and grahm cracker crust was like having pumpkin pie in shake form, but better.
NUMBER 6 1/2: Chocolate pumpkin shakes
NUMBER 7: Pumpkin oatmeal
NUMBER 8: Peanut butter pumpkin bread. A great way to get your kids to eat vegetables and it's delicious!
NUMBER 9: Pumpkin herbal tea
NUMBER 10: Gingered pumpkin soup
NUMBER 11: Cream cheese pumpkin muffins
