Making a PUMPKIN pie from a PUMPKIN

I will never buy canned pumpkin again…if i can help it

 

simply the best pumpkin puree…which resulted in simply the best pumpkin PIE

instructions

cut the whole pumpkin in half

remove the seeds { save them they make a great snack with the right embellishments}

place the halved pumpkins

rind up flesh down on a greased cookie sheet

at   350 for about an hour

or until the rind is soft when poked

scoop the softened flesh out with a ice cream scoop and blend

YIPPEE

the best freshest pumpkin puree

{pumpkin pancakes are also delish with this}

after writing this post I think pumpkin pancakes are a must…like right now

so CIAO

only use sugar pumpkins or bread pumpkins

the best ones are the ones that seem heavy for there size and have very little bruising or scaring on the rind

STAY TUNED

to stop and smell the roses: the Bus Stop in four parts….part i

the trip to the bus stop is

slow

deliberate

full of interesting sites along the way

it has become a calming part of our day so

we take care to always set out early

once we arrive

my eldest but one sits and waits for his bus

behind him to the right are the bushes that produce the blackberries which we eat

while he waits

and that is the rock on which he sits

while he waits
