Halloween is over. Pumpkins have been thrown in the trash bins. My local supermarket gave away its remaining pumpkins.
I was happy to take one. The pumpkin is so much more than a jack o’lantern.
With my pumpkin I was abled to cut and scoop out:
2¾ pounds of pumkin pulp (no stringy bits)
1 cup pumpkin seeds
From my pumpkin
I recovered enough pulp and seeds to make the following five dishes and pumpkin shea butter soap.
