Recycled Pumpkins

I love anything pumpkin. Anything. This year I decided to make my own pumpkin puree out of our Jack-O-Lantern and painted pumpkin. Since we had only carved our pumpkin a day before it was still usable.

I cut out the face, and cut up both pumpkins...


and into the oven for a few hours...

I even used the seeds...

After cooking the pumpkin I scooped the "meat" into food processor...

A few minutes later pumpkin+applesauce+cinnamon= one happy baby girl...

I froze a ton of puree, made muffins and am planning to use the rest of the puree that's in the fridge for Pumpkin Butter and Pumpkin Cranberry Bread. Mmmmm
