After trying pumpkins in the Crock pot, baking them in the oven without a bag, and than (thanks to you) with the bag, WITH the bag is by far the way to go! So much easier with moisture, time, peeling, and with the guts! So glad I found this on Pinterest! Thank you!!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649224595254744426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635220577144174511.post-91091075165669438892012-10-26T23:00:43.992-05:002012-10-26T23:00:43.992-05:00When I cook pumpkins or butternut squash, I bake t...When I cook pumpkins or butternut squash, I bake them like a baked potato. I make several slits in them with a knife and place them on a cookie sheet covered with foil. I bake them at 350 until a knife slides in easily...usually a couple of hours. I let them cool...then slice in half, the skin slides right off and the insides scoops out easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635220577144174511.post-91265564469484578362011-11-23T10:23:22.657-06:002011-11-23T10:23:22.657-06:00We planted the Baby Pam pumpkins this year - the s...We planted the Baby Pam pumpkins this year - the small sweet pumpkins used for baking. Like you, I used the oven method too, but instead of using cookie sheets, I used glass pyrex, the kind with the sides that go up 3" or so? Cut the pumpkins in half, scooped out the pulpiness, and laid them face down in the pyrex and covered very loosely with some foil, 375 for 1 hr or so, and voila, the insides scooped out beautifully! <br /><br />We ended up with too many pumpkins for me to use, so gave many away at both of my jobs, but I still have 3 left that I want to do something with!! :)<br /><br />Hey, I think you have the same lil blender that I just got several months ago -- a Cuisinart which comes with its own tall measuring cup?? Makes good milkshakes, hehehehe...... :-)Girl Tornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289862625817473671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635220577144174511.post-66144731092076246292011-11-20T21:15:12.521-06:002011-11-20T21:15:12.521-06:00That sounds like a lot of work but worth it in the...That sounds like a lot of work but worth it in the end.

That darling planter came in white..."Mr. Ed" and I found the hanging baskets that now sit inside at a Antique Mall in Wichita. The baskets...minus their chains...have given us multiple ways to use the vintage plant stand. Under all the pumpkins, gourds, and baskets are the sweetest roses embedded in the wrought iron. Being the romantic that I am...it had to come to stay with me! Stop by again soon!<br />Your pumpkin looks delicious...but my, what a great deal of labor. Enjoy the flavor that can't be matched in a can from the grocer!<br />Fondly,<br />PatOn Crooked Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194554531505722292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635220577144174511.post-9890317220763780122011-11-19T14:25:14.753-06:002011-11-19T14:25:14.753-06:00I cooked and froze my Halloween pumpkin (with no s...I cooked and froze my Halloween pumpkin (with no sugar/spices) at the beginning of November. Most of it will go into the Thanksgiving pies. However, after reading about your pumpkin butter I wish I had more puree!

When done, I hold the skin side with a potholder and scoop out the flesh.
