I grew A LOT of pumpkins this year and need some recipe ideas. Can be made with fresh or puréed pumpkin.

    I really love to juice it, warm it up & add cinnamon.
    Always muffins & cookies

    • jujubee—I tried to make juice once and it didn’t turn out great. How do you make yours?
    • mamajen—I used a centrifuge juicer, peeled the pumpkin & just put the chunks in. The colder the squash the better

    Not a recipe but I just learned you can eat it just like you would a watermelon or cantaloupe!

    • jujubee—I’m going to have to give it a try.
