When the DDs were younger they took visits to the pumpkin patch and brought home pumpkins but these days unless I buy them there is no reason for the huge pumpkins to make their way to our house. The huge pumpkins seem a waste to buy, carve and then throw away. Anyway these pumpkins huge, not as sweet and stringy but they do have a lot of pulp. <\/br><\/br>\n\nDD2 and I made a visit to the local grocery store the day before Halloween and day after hurricane Sandy had upended our lives (but not as much as they did to people in NY and NJ). I had to pick up a few essentials. DD2 looked at the pumpkins and wanted one for carving. As I was explaining to her why I will not be buying a pumpkin, the store employee said the pumpkins were free and gave me a look that said I had no reason to refuse anymore. So, I picked 2, one for the DDs to carve and the other to cook with. <\/br><\/br> !--><\/p>\n<p>Pumpkins are so versatile and they can be used in a lot of recipes. Baked goods are tastier when the pumpkin is roasted and the pulp extracted rather than steamed. Pumpkin seeds are delcious when roasted so save and dry them. <\/p>\n<p>Halloween pumpkins, the ones that are used for carving take a lot longer to roast and not as good for cooking. So avoid using those for baking but they might work well in cooking recipes.<\/p>\n<p>The time for baking the pumpkin is dependent upon the type of pumpkin. It can be done as quickly as 20 minutes or it can take as long as 50 minutes for the halloween type hard pumpkins. Depending on the type of pumpking watch from 20 minutes on so they are not burnt .<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>How to roast a pumpkin?<\/b><br \/><i>Preparation Time:<\/i>5 minutes <br \/><i>Baking Time:<\/i>15-25 minutes (50 minutes if it is a thicker skinned pumpkin)<br \/><b>Ingredients<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>1 pumpkin <\/li>\n<li>2 tsp of oil <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Method<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 350F. <\/li>\n<li>Clean the pumpkin, wipe dry, split in half lengthwise.
