Thanks for the tip. I'll go find some pumpkins tomorrow morning then.

You should. I would just set aside two days. One for the puree, one for the pie, so you don't spend all day in the kitchen. Unless, of course, you like that.

Alrighty, kids, I'm signing off for the night. I'll make sure I check back to answer any questions.

So sad I missed this. It looks like it was a great workshop.
Question. I have found that my pumpkin puree is very watery. Do you ever strain yours or do you always use it straight? Also, do you just scoop and use or do you mash or puree in a blender food processor?
Thanks!

If you find it very watery, you can just strain off the water. I've done it if it was really watery. It will be fine either way.

Never scoop-and-use. You DO need to put it in a blender or food processor to use it for baked goods. You can *try* to mash it if you don't have a blender or food processor, but you'd have to be pretty good at really getting it an even consistency.

I do actually have a question - I have a butternut squash I bought a while ago that will need to be cooked soon. Not planning on making a pie, but do you know if I could roast and make a puree out of it the same way?
Also, how do you feel about storing uncut pumpkins in the refrigerator? Would this prolong their useful life?

And I don't know if the fridge would prolong it or not. I know once you cut it you should put it in, but I honestly don't know about uncut.

I forgot to add that when you go to buy pumpkins for this, if they are on the small side, you'll need two. If you aren't sure, go ahead and get two pumpkins. You can freeze any leftover puree.

Great point! We are making pumpkin roll and pumpkin cheesecake this weekend. Then we'll make pies on Wednesday.
Thanks again! Great workshop!

I made pumpkin roll a few weeks ago. I was forbidden to make it again because Husband is trying to lose weight and it is tasty.

Yesterday, I made more pumpkin puree and made the pie this morning. Has anyone else given this a try yet?
