So I was reading Moneysavingmom.com (which is a GREAT blog BTW) and she writes this post on making pumpkin puree from scratch here and makes it sound easy. I get the bright idea that I should make this wonderful puree which will undoubtedly make my Thanksgiving pumpkin pies Superman good. I go to Walmart to buy the pie pumpkins (a whole lot smaller than the ones you carve) and come home thinking this is going to be a breeze! I didn't realize at the time that these little jewels would require a hacksaw to cut through opposed to the serrated knife that moneysavingmom had used! I really wish that I had taken pictures of me with the hacksaw going after these little pumpkins! It all did result in 13 Cups of pumpkin puree (most of which I froze) which I plan on making into an assortment of treats. My first attempt was White Chocolate Pumpkin Dreams which are some amazing cookies! Watch out for future additions to the pumpkin saga!
