Title: The Great Pumpkin
Post by: Princess L on October 28, 2010, 09:37:04 PM
Had an urge to make pumpkin seeds, so I picked up a good sized pumpkin (learning later that smaller ones yield better/more seeds  ::) )  Rather than wasting the pumpkin, I baked it until soft and then pureed it in the food processor.  It made a ton.  With the canned pumpkin shortage (still), the dogs have been missing their daily dollop.  We're set for awhile now  :D  They even like the raw pumpkin.

The seeds turned out ok.  I think my cravings are over for at least another year  ::)

The dogs carved their own pumpkins this year!  They were going to roast the seeds but were too lazy ::)

Cute!

Really?  There's been a nationwide shortage since ... I dunno... April?  The stores just recently got shipments, but they flew off the shelves.

You've never had roasted pumpkin seeds  :o  They're very nutritious.  I sprinkled Cajun seasoning on them before roasting.  Tasty  :P

Yes, you eat the entire seed.  IMO they're only good if they're really crispy.

The puree comes out like baby food, which can be used in all sorts of recipes.  I don't like pumpkin anything, but the dogs love it and it's really good for them.

i love pumpkin.  No noticeable shortage.  I also go to a retaurant supply place so that may have something to do with it.
