This morning I made my pumpkin bread recipe with a pumpkin that my husband grew in our garden! I thought it might be hard to do...but it was not at all! I am happy to report that this is the best tasting pumpkin bread I've ever had!
First I cut the top of the pumpkin off.
Next I cut it in half and scooped out the seeds with a spoon. (which I cleaned and have drying to make pumpkin seeds with this afternoon.) Then put it in a glass baking dish with about an inch of water.
Next bake on 450 degrees for 50 minutes. (this is with a semi-small pumpkin) The key is you must be able to pierce the skin with a fork easily.
After it comes out of the oven, let it cool off a bit. Then scrape the pumpkin into the blender and add 1/4-1/2 cup of water and blend and stir until smooth. Mine made about 16 oz. of pumpkin. (which is the same as a can of pumpkin.) Now you can use this to make what ever you like! My pumpkin bread recipe is on this blog, if anyone would like to try it.
Hi Juli ~ Such a beautiful pumpkin from your garden. Your pumpkin dessert looks delicious. I looked back and have saved your recipe! I am looking forward to making this. We both love anything made with pumpkin. ~ It makes me think of the Fall...which is my favorite season! Sweet weekend blessings! Love, Teri
