It felt wrong to be enjoying them in August but we still went for it since they were ripe. We've done soups and sauces so far but soon I'll start making some sweet stuff too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-with-pumpkin#post-1087718 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 21:37:43 +0000 lovehoneybee 1087718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: </p> <p><a href="http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/10/24/healthy-pumpkin-chocolate-chip-oatmeal-cookies/" rel="nofollow">http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/10/24/healthy-pumpkin-chocolate-chip-oatmeal-cookies/</a></p> <p>These are pretty cake-y, and I don't know that I'd necessarily call them "healthy". No butter or oil, but there is plenty of sugar. I add 1/4 or so of flax seeds.

Slice off the stem of the pumpkin and then cut the rest in half. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and stringy bits. Cut into smaller pieces if necessary, leaving the shell intact. Arrange pieces in a baking dish, shell facing up/fleshy sides down. Add a bit of water to the dish, just enough so it comes up maybe 1/4 inch in the pan. Roast at 350-375 until soft (you can poke through the shell with a sharp knife). Let cool until you can handle the pieces. Using a spoon, scrape the flesh off the outer shell and into a food processor. Purée the flesh until it's nice and smooth. Line a colander with cheesecloth and let the purée drain for a little while, this will help it thicken up a bit so your baked goods aren't watery. Use immediately or put into freezer bags in portions that the recipes you use call for (15 ounces, 2cups, etc), squeeze out the air, and freeze for up to several months.</p> <p>It sounds labor-intensive written out like that, but it's really not. Especially if you do a couple of squash at once so you get several recipes worth at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-with-pumpkin#post-1087250 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:27:34 +0000 lovehoneybee 1087250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Yum!

The big Halloween-type ones won't hurt you but don't usually taste very good. Eating pumpkins are (usually) smaller, have a more brownish-orange skin, and have more flesh/smaller inside cavities. You can also get fancy versions like fairytale pumpkins, which have green skin and a kind of squashed (pardon the pun ;) ) shape, but they're harder to find and IMO not usually worth it. Also, like I said in my earlier post, butternut squash (or acorn squash) are good, easy-to-find substitutes if you're having a hard time finding good eating pumpkins where you live. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-with-pumpkin#post-1080786 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:43:10 +0000 JerricaBenton 1080786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pumpkin chilli is one of our favorites. I just bought some pumpkin orange marmalade I'm super excited about. I also made pumpkin spice syrup that I put in my coffee and oatmeal! Pumpkin cornbread sounds soooo good! I'll have to try that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-with-pumpkin#post-1080770 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:34:52 +0000 erinpye 1080770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pumpkin roll!

Let's just say the pumpkin is a go! It's September, but I don't care!</p> <p>I have a duuuuumb question. When you ladies cook with pumpkin, you use a big normal Halloween-ish pumpkin? I feel so stupid asking. But, are those the ones people cook with or is there a "smaller breed" that is more suited for cooking? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-with-pumpkin#post-1080623 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:36:31 +0000 lovehoneybee 1080623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: Big butternut squash fan too (mmm butternut Mac and cheese), but I have a weird skin reaction to the uncooked flesh, so it's more of a hassle to prep. I love it, though...even served butternut squash bisque at our wedding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-with-pumpkin#post-1080619 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:35:38 +0000 Running Elley 1080619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally said screw it and started already! I love cooking with pumpkin! I made GF pumpkin pancakes last weekend... It was 102 outside that day lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-with-pumpkin#post-1080609 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:34:05 +0000 PurplePeony 1080609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually sub in butternut squash instead of pumpkin, as I don't like the canned stuff and I find butternut squash to have more reliable flavor and texture. Sometimes I do try various types of pumpkins, though. I haven't made any pumpkin recipes yet but will definitely be making some breads/muffins/scones to freeze for when LO arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-with-pumpkin#post-1080532 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:16:33 +0000 StbHisMrs 1080532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yummy, I've not tried anything other than pumpkin pie.
