Jack::A Pumpkin

  Meet Jack. A pumpkin. You may remember me telling you how I'd like to get a pumpkin in my "Autumn" Post. Well, here it is!

  It was an interesting experience, using a real pumpkin. Usually we use canned pumpkin. Here are some pictures!

  

  

After cutting open, I scooped out the insides.

Cooked it.

Cooked the seeds separately.  

Cut up some pumpkin and cooked with butter and seasonings. 

Blended some.

Pumpkin coffee. (Pumpkin + milk + pumpkin pie spice = homemade coffee creamer)

And made some pie.

Okay, here are the real pies I made...

And here's one without a crust; the leftover pumpkin pie mixture poured into a spring-form pan, cooked.

You sure can get a lot out of a pumpkin! Well, a big one at least. Smaller varieties of pumpkins are actually preferred for cooking, but the pie was still good. :) 

  Even though not everything turned out great, it was definitely a neat experience, and I hope you enjoyed a peek into it!
