UPDATE: The final count was 12 cups. If we had a bigger freezer we could have made more! There is always next year. I'm crossing my fingers for a stand-up deep freeze after we move. We two growing boys we'll definately need to buy in bulk.

New Tradition
What do you do with decorative pumpkins once the season is over? Start a new family tradition of making pumpkin puree! E and I tested out our abilities at making pumpkin puree while the boys napped. She was cute. Touching the inside of the pumpkin was "yuck" to quote her.
After our success with her small pumpkin we decided to try our hand with the Cinderella pumpkin. The boys were up by this time so she wanted to make sure they got to touch the goo. K's response was the same he heard his sister say... "YUCK." I thought the Cinderella pumpkin was very pretty on the pan.
The process is really quite simple and I do love pumpkin pie made with fresh pumpkin! I'm not sure how many cups of puree we'll end up with when this is over but I see lots of pumpkin recipes in our future. :)
