With the kids out of the house, I forgot about pumpkins. I use it year round in Bisquick Impossible pie. And we love pumpkin butter on pancakes, waffles, etc. Hmmm, a great gift idea! You know I pay a premium for pumpkins in NYC but I buy them at a school fair. Profit helps the kids! I have a whole pumpkin cookbook. Ever bake a stew in one? Scoop out some pumpkin when you serve the stew. Yummo!!
