*Fresh pumpkin cooking tips:
Use organic cooking or “sugar” pumpkins. Cut them up in quarters and steam them using any vegetable type steamer or you can bake them in oven until tender (about ½ hour -at- 350). If these are very easily poked with fork then they are ready. Once cooled simply scrape off the seeds including stringy inside part and discard. Then scoop out the flesh into a large bowl and mash with potato masher. Extra mashed pumpkin freezes for several months.
