Using Leftover Cooked Pumpkin
You may have extra pumpkin when you're done making these pies,
because it's very hard to tell exactly how much cooked pumpkin a
raw pumpkin will give you. Here are some ideas for using it up:
- Place it in a casserole dish, top with margarine or cheese,
and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is brown. Serve as a
side dish.
- Make an easy stew-like
soup
out of it.
- Use it in any recipe calling for squash, or use it in ravioli
or lasagna as a substitute for cheese.
- Add a few tablespoons to bread or
cookies.
- Pasties: mix with some onions or potatoes or other vegetable,
place into a pocket of pie crust, and bake for 30 minutes at 350
F. Serve warm or cold -- great for football games and picnics!
- Freeze it immediately after cooking and use in future
recipes.
