"When selecting pumpkins for cooking, remember that the biggest may not necessarily be the best; smaller pumpkins contain less water, resulting in less waste.
To prepare a fresh pumpkin for cooking, start by slicing it in half crosswise. Place the halves, cut side down, on a jellyroll pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes or until fork tender. When it's cool, the pumpkin can be peeled and the pulp mashed. You'll find that a 5-pound pumpkin will yield about 4-½ to 5 cups of cooked, mashed pulp.
When pumpkins are harvested during the Fall months, they can be stored for enjoyment in the Winter. A pumpkin will keep about one month at room temperature or two or three months if refrigerated." The Staff of "Southern Living" magazine October, 1982 Typos by JP Submitted By JEFF PRUETT On 10-19-95
