In Season: Pumpkin

Thanks for all your comments! Using a "regular" pumpkin to make a puree can be difficult and yes, there will be an excess liquid problem. However, I simply reduce the puree (after cleaning, baking, scooping, emuslifying, and straining) by simmering over low heat until the liquid evaporates. After about 30 minutes I achieved my desired consistency. I hope this helps!

I'm not sure it it would be healthier, but it would be a nice thing to mix up your usual routine. If you paired it with some fruit and yogurt you might come out about the same on the nutrition scale!

weird question, but after carving a pumpkin, how does one prevent blue furry mold from growing inside? i had a lot of hard work go down the drain in a matter of days b/c of that.

Best part, you can grow your own simply from planting the stem. Not a tree...a real pineapple. Note: it takes about 2-3 years....

I love pineapple it all it's forms. From pineapple upside down cake, to grilled slices to shish kebobs. It is always a treat.

Just made some pineapple/orange salsa to serve with jerked pork. Oh, it was a tropical kick that made us feel like we were in the Caribbean.

When people start cooking with pineapple, they've run out of ideas.
