Homemade Pumpkin Puree, The Pioneer Woman Way...


This week I decided to take the plunge and bake, puree, and freeze bags of pumpkin puree for winter pies and cakes.  To do this, I followed the wonderful instructions of The Pioneer Woman, aka "Ree Drummond".  It was so much fun and was really easy to do.  Which is good because I have more pumpkins to puree.  Please click on the link above for her recipe and website, but here are a few of my pictures.






Also- on a side note, I cleaned the pumpkin seeds and soaked them in a 5% salt water brine for 24 hours, drained them, salted and placed them on a baking sheet at 375 degrees until they were crunchy and light golden brown (it took about 55 minutes because of the brine soak).  Yum!

  2. Yum...though I have a hard time getting the puree into the freezer...It always ends up with thickened cream added and consumed as soup lol.

    Thanks for stopping by to visit today.
