Yummy Pumpkin Scones

October 19, 2007 by Mary Ellen Leave a Comment

I baked a pie pumpkin the other day after I got an email asking a question about pumpkin butter. I decided I’d try the recipe. I had a little left over so I decided to try a pumpkin scone recipe I had.

If you have never baked a fresh pumpkin here is how I do it. Cut the top off like you are going to carve it. Scrape out the seeds. Place the pumpkin with the lid back on it on a baking sheet that has been lined with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about a hour. This will depend on your pumpkin size. It is done when you can piece it easily with a knife. Let the pumpkin cool. Remove the pumpkin from the shell and use it as you would canned pumpkin.

I use small sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins when I cook with them. There is more pumpkin, they seem sweeter and less water. To me it is worth the time to do it and there is a taste advantage.
