I love cooking with pumpkin in the fall time. This is a great way to make good use of pumpkins when they are on sale at the grocery store or farmer's market. Something that I thought was really interesting is that you don't even need to peel it! After it is done cooking, the writer says you can just blend it up, flesh and peel and it will work fantastically. Apparently, it doesn't affect the taste and makes the puree a deeper orange colour (and who doesn't want that!?) I've cooked squash in the slow cooker before, so I am really looking forward to giving pumpkins a try. I'm looking forward to bagging the puree into pre-measured portions for my recipes and freezing it for use during the winter. I think it will be fabulous and save me a lot of money. Don't forget to save the seeds for roasting as well! YUM!
