How to Cook Fresh Pumpkin EASILY

Making anything with fresh or raw pumpkin seems like a challenge. ITS NOT! It is actually really easy! Make sure you purchase sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins. They type you carve aren’t very tasty. So here are my directions on How to Cook Fresh Pumpkin. Give it a try! Use it in place of the canned pumpkin. 2 small pumpkins will yield about 2 cups of pumpkin. No more peeling or trying to cut the skin off! Easy
How to Cook Fresh Pumpkin EASILY 

Ingredients:

2 pie pumpkins
2 tablespoons butter (can be omitted)
sprinkling of cinnamon (can be omitted)
water

  Directions:

Preheat oven to 325. Cut the pumpkins in half and scoop out all the stringy stuff and the seeds. ( I save my seeds to roast)
Place the pumpkins in a casserole dish skin side down. Fill the casserole dish about half full. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon, this can be skipped if you want. Put a tablespoon of butter in each one (this can be skipped too).
Bake for about 30 minutes. Scoop and scrape out the tender inside!
