Pumpkin Pie

Halloween is here, and everyone is getting there pumpkins carved and ready for the big night.
Just a reminder that after the guts are removed and seeds are gone, you can scrape the pumpkin with a spoon and get all that good meat from the inside to make your own pumpkin butter, or add in for pumpkin bread, pancakes, muffins, pies, and so much more.
Also, by scraping the pumpkin, it makes it easier to carve for the younger ones.
If you search around, you could always find a helpful pumpkin like this one to help you...

Happy Halloween !

It's Pumpkin Time !

Time for the kids to carve some scary pumpkins again.
you know what that means to me ?
Some good pumpkin butter,
just like apple butter, and easy to make


After the kids clean the guts and seed out of the pumpkins, take a spoon and scrape the inner walls to get as much meat as you can. This will not only reward you with precious butter, but make the carving easy for the kids. The recipe has never been written for me, but I have used 1/2 cup cider to 1 cup pumpkin in a crock pot on low for 10 hours/overnight. I had 5 cups of pumpkin when I was done scraping.
I add cinnamon and allspice to taste, and with this batch, I did add 1/4 cup splenda

Nothing better on a piece of toast in the morning, and good with peanut butter too !
