Using Pumpkin and TIPS

Choose smaller pumpkins for eating. Sugar pumpkins are usually labeled by the market for cooking purposes as opposed to those used for decorating or Jack-o'-lanterns.

• Pumpkin seeds, known as pepitas, are often roasted and eaten as snacks. Another by-product, pumpkin seed oil, is normally mixed with other oils for cooking, salad dressings and other uses due to its strong flavor and color.

• Pumpkin seeds can be toasted on a cookie sheet in the oven at a low temperature. Be sure to stir them often and watch for burning. Some prefer to soak the seeds in salt water before toasting.

• Shelled pumpkin seeds can be used as a less expensive alternative to pine nuts in recipes.

• Try cooked mashed pumpkin in cake and muffin recipes for added moisture and texture.

• Higher temperatures cause pumpkin flesh to become stringy. If you end up with a stringy pumpkin, you can beat the pulp with an electric mixer on high speed for ten seconds and then switch to low speed for sixty seconds. The strings should wrap around the beaters for easy removal.

• Homemade pureed pumpkin for pies is usually much thinner in texture than canned. To alleviate excess moisture, ROAST in the oven( rather than steam or boil the pumpkin then having to Mash and drain through cheesecloth before using in pies.) sugar pumpkins they work the best then you really just have perfect pulp, without having to strain.

Re: Using Pumpkin and TIPS

Claudia, thanks for your timely tip. I'll head to the farmers' market this weekend to pick up some pumpkins for cooking. Pumpkin risotto, anyone?

Re: Using Pumpkin and TIPS

i am preserving pumpkin, for soups, roasted in the oven, smashed and in the jar. I put the jars in the oven, low temperature, 30 min. Later it is so good in most of the soups about 1 tbs / portion.

Great tips, Claudia! I've never made a pumpkin pie with real pumpkin, but the roasting tip sounds super useful.
