Pumpkin Cookin'

I was given several pumpkins along with a few I bought for decoration. I finally made time to cook them when I realized my oven needed to be run through its cleaning cycle. So today I cooked 2 of the 5 I have around the kitchen. These were very thick skinned and needed longer to cook. After almost an hour they were ready to be pulped into pie filling. I froze almost a gallon of bright orange pumpkin filling. My chickens got to have the pumpkin skins and leftover pulp for dinner treat.

And after this I made a persimmon sorbet with just lemons, frozen persimmons and agave nectar. A very nice treat after cleaning up the kitchen.
