This summer I was pleasantly surprised by finding a pumpkin plant from the previous tenants. I only got one good pumpkin from it, but it was a very good sized pumpkin!!
I had to bring it inside to allow it to ripen completely, only got partially orange in the garden.
I wasn't sure how good the pumpkin would be not getting all the way ripe.
It's been sitting inside my house for a few weeks. I decided to cut into it last week and see how it turned out.

I cut and scooped...
Baked and peeled...
Cut in chunks and pureed...
Measured, bagged, and put in the freezer!
I'm surprised I got 26 cups of pumpkin puree out of that one pumpkin!
I love baking with pumpkin and am excited I succeeded my first time making pumpkin puree and can't wait to make pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin puree.

Wow! I'm surprised by how much puree you got too! I'm sure you'll have tons of fin finding uses for it.
