Let’s Talk Pumpkin!

Pumpkinfest: 7 Ways to Love Pumpkin The weather in Boise is beginning to turn. I feel a nip in the air that always heralds the coming of fall. I am thrilled! This means harvesting will soon come to an end. Fruits and vegetables will be tucked away in cupboards and freezer, and I will have a brief respite before the holidays are fully upon us.  Pumpkin: Pure and Simple My thoughts turn to leaves of crimson, yellows and oranges, delicious smells from the kitchen and crisp, cool evenings. There will also be pumpkins, an integral part of the fall season. With that in mind, today’s review is all about pumpkins. A true Pumpkinfest of flavors to enjoy this fall season. Roast your pumpkin for a fresh pumpkin puree that adds great flavor and freshness to all your fall treats. If you have never had the pleasure of roasting your own pumpkins, let me suggest that this year be your year. I readily admit canned pumpkin is convenient, but there is a world of difference in flavor when making your own. Did you know that canned pumpkin isn’t really all pumpkin? There may be a touch included in the mixture but butternut squash is usually the main ingredient. I have been roasting my own pumpkins for years and the process is quite simple. Pumpkin also freezes up beautifully. Roast up a few when you can purchase them in the store at a bargain. You’ll then have plenty of pumpkin puree to enjoy all year long.
