Some customers are still intrigued by how to cook a pumpkin without peeling it, so we're leaving these instructions up for awhile.

  1. Select a pumpkin.   You can use a jack-o-lantern pumpkin, but the meat will be stringy.  A pie pumpkin has smooth meat and is much nicer.  A guideline is that one pound of pumpkin will provide one cup of pumpkin.
  2. Chunk the pumpkin into pieces with a butcher knife.  Place pieces in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high until pumpkin is tender.
  3. Let the pumpkin cool a bit and scoop out the inside.  Place the scooped out pumpkin into a food processor or blender and puree.
  4. Use pumpkin in your favorite dishes or freeze to use this winter.
