Steps:
- Use as many pumpkins as will fit in your oven on the center rack. Wash and dry the pumpkins and remove stems if necessary to help them fit in the oven better.
- Move the oven rack to the center of the oven and put down aluminum foil or a cookie sheet to catch any drips (mine didn't require this, but it may still be a good idea).
- Bake at 200 degrees for a few hours. The time depends on how big your pumpkins are. My pumpkins were about 3.5-4 lbs, and they took 4 hours. A larger pumpkin will take longer.
- Check your pumpkins periodically to see if they're getting soft. You'll know they're ready when the outside feels soft.
- When they're soft, remove from the oven, place on a cookie sheet or cutting board, and cut the pumpkins in half.
- Remove the seeds and the stringy flesh in the pumpkin cavity.
- Using a large spoon, scoop out the cooked pumpkin and put into a food processor.
- Process the pumpkin in the food processor until you have a nice smooth puree.
- Store in jars or another container. The puree will stay good in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for months.
ROASTED PUMPKIN
This recipe for basic roasted pumpkin is so simple and very versatile. You can eat the sweet, fibrous flesh straight out of the shell with some olive oil, salt, and pepper, or you can get creative. Once you've roasted the pumpkin as directed below, consider making Pumpkin Wedges with Sage or Indian-Spiced Pumpkin.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Scoop out the pumpkin's seeds and pulp with a spoon and put into a colander. Rinse away all the stringy stuff. Give the seeds a separate rinse to make sure they're clean.
- Spread the seeds out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until dried out, 30 to 45 minutes. Toss with enough oil to nicely coat (this will depend on how many seeds you harvested), season with salt and sprinkle with the za'atar spice. Return the seeds to the oven and continue to roast until crunchy and golden, 20 to 30 minutes more.
HOW TO COOK / BAKE / ROAST A REAL PUMPKIN
I decided to try making my own pumpkin puree instead of buying the canned variety. I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie but maybe I'll like it better if it's made from scratch. I'm also going to try making pumpkin butter! Directions from: http://www.betterbudgeting.com/articles/holidays/roastpumpkin.htm and posted here so I can find them! Yield is an estimate and will depend on how big your pumpkin is. ===== You can only do this with a freshly carved pumpkin! Do not use on a pumpkin that has been carved and sitting out for several days.

Steps:
- Cut the pumpkin in half crosswise and scoop out the seeds and strings.
- Place halves, hollow side down, in a large baking pan covered with aluminum foil and add a little water.
- Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until fork-tender. Remove.
- When cool, scrape pulp from shells and puree, a little at time, in food processor or blender. Mix with a little salt.
- To freeze pumpkin puree: Put 1/2 cups in freezer bags along with spices and use in pies.
- To use pumpkin puree for recipes: Line a strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth or a flour sack dish towel and let the pumpkin sit to drain out the extra moisture BEFORE cooking with it. Pumpkin is very moist, so in order for your recipe to come out correctly, you MUST strain it.

Steps:
- THE EASY WAY: Wash outside of fruit, cut in half, scrape out seeds (save for roasting into snacks) and that stringy stuff, place halves face down on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 300 (or so) until "meat" is tender; discard shells/skin.
- Use meat as called for in pie or cake recipe.
- OR mash or blend meat until very smooth (add a bit of water), heat in a soup pot, and then ladle into clean HOT jars, seal with canning lids, and process in hot water bath or pressure cooker. Label & use for pie filling or cake recipes.
- THE HARD WAY: Cut fruit into spears, remove seeds & stringy fibers, then using a paring knife or peeler, remove skins. Cut into large chunks and cook down in a soup pot to make pie filling or roast with other autumn vegetables (balsamic vinegar & sea salt make a nice marinade!).

- Remove the stem if desired. Cut the pumpkin in half, from top to bottom (not side to side), then remove the seeds and stringy bits (keep the seeds to toast, if desired). I used an OXO scraper which makes the job much easier, but it's not necessary.
- Next, place both halves cut side down on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet and place in preheated oven for about an hour or until soft. Press on the pumpkin to check. Remove from oven when ready.
- When cool, use the same OXO tool or some other scraper to scoop the flesh from the skin of the pumpkin. If you want puree, just put it in a food processor, so easy! Place in a bowl and keep refrigerated until ready to use in recipes, such as pie, muffins or cakes. Freezes well, too.

- How to Roast Pumpkin. Roasted pumpkin is delicious and nutritious. You can add it to baked goods, soups, stews, or whip up a homemade pumpkin pie. Plus, it's super easy to make.
- Cut the Pumpkin in Half. You'll need a large knife and a certain amount of upper-body strength. Cut the pumpkin more or less in half working on one side of any stem that's still attached to the pumpkin.
- Scoop Out Seeds. Use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds and stringy "guts" from the pumpkins halves. If you have an ice cream scooper, know that it will work beautifully for this task.
- Get Those Insides Clean. You don't need to be crazy about it, but you also want to remove all the wetter, darker "guts" from the harder, lighter-colored pumpkin flesh.
- Roast the Pumpkin. Set the cleaned pumpkin halves on a lightly oiled baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in a preheated 375 F oven (the temperature is actually quite flexible, anywhere in the 350 F to 425 F range will yield decent results) until the pumpkin halves are tender enough to pierce easily with a fork through the shell.
- Roasted Pumpkin, Ready to Use. Let the pumpkin sit until cool enough to handle. Then use a large spoon to scoop out the sweet and tender cooked flesh. Roasted pumpkin is perfect for serving mashed with butter, using to make a pumpkin soup, or whirling into a pumpkin pie.
