Ingredients

• an edible pumpkin

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
• 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 its 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 and 15 minutes or until soft. Remove from oven.
• When cool, use the same OXO tool or some other scraper to scoop the flesh from the skin of the pumpkin. Place in a bowl and keep refrigerated until ready to use in recipes, such as pie, muffins or cakes.
