One of my pumpkin pies. (Thanks to the help from Dad and Mom. |
I have been somewhat busy making pumpkin pies (with the help of my parents) the last two days. I have never made them before, and I found it fun to do.
Yesterday we cleaned the pumpkin: chopped it up, peeled it, and then started boiling it. My one pumpkin made two pans worth for boiling and just today, I made three pies. We have so much more pumpkin "mush", as I call it, left over! We also cleaned the seeds, put them in salt water, and roasted them in the oven.
Something even more interesting is that my pumpkin came from a field that is near my grandparents' house. It was neat to know that my pumpkin was Oklahoma grown and that we drove by that field on our way to NM, then go to a near by Wal-Mart (a few weeks later) and buy a pumpkin from that field! Who knew that would happen? : )
