Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma almost always made this recipe with fresh pumpkin. She baked a small pumpkin in a 350°F oven until tender, then cut open the pumpkin and scraped out the seeds and strings. She scooped out and mashed the pumpkin or pureed it in a blender. After making this recipe, Grandma had leftover pumpkin, which she froze in a rigid plastic freezer container or used to make pumpkin bread.
