We had a bumper crop a few years ago. I cooked them all and froze it in one cup portions for later use. It is good to use in recipes to replace the oil. I sometimes use it to replace the oil in my zucchini bread. Also to replace the oil in cake mixes.

Use as squash in soup -

Saute a chopped onion and a couple of minced quarter-sized pieces of ginger in olive oil until soft. Add chopped pumpkin, 3-4 of chopped carrots, 3-4 chopped potatoes, and a can or two of chicken broth. Simmer until all is soft and either blend in a food processor or use an immersion blender to make smooth.

I was never too fond of pumpkin, but we are vegetarian, and I am trying to find more interesting things to prepare for dinner, so tried this recipe. We love it - I was especially pleased when hubby raved about it:
Thai Pumpkin Soup:
1. Warm 2 Tbsp red curry paste in pan. ( I buy a small jar of this in the Oriental foods section of my store)
2. Add 4 cups veg broth and 2 15 oz cans pumpkin (or equivalent fresh cooked pumpkin) . Bring to a hot bubble.
3. Add 1 3/4 cup coconut milk (or 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk) and bring up to temp.
4. Serve with chopped cilantro garnish.

Quite simple, and very good.

When my son and DIL had a bumper crop a few years ago they made a lot of puree, measured it out into "pie recipe" portions and froze it. They used bags and froze them flat so it didn't take a lot of space in their freezer. They were quite sad when they used the last bag.

Wanted to add, I have used my slow cooker to make pumpkin butter just like you would apple butter. Easy and a nice treat on toast!

when we had full size chickens they would clean a halved punkin up in a day. I have banty hens and rooster now and they won't fool with a lot of foods, no real competition to get food I guess.

Kris, that pumpkin bundt cake sounds super!
