Every year I process two pumpkins, mostly for use in pumpkin bread. I do have three or four ziplocs of frozen pumpkin left in the freezer, which I planned to use up in the next couple of weeks, before putting this year's "harvest" up.
I was reading A Simple Quilter, and she was talking about the canned pumpkin shortage. I would not have noticed until November: although I could use my frozen pumpkin for Thanksgiving pies, my husband prefers canned for that purpose.
Can-you-believe-that-there-is-a-shortage-of-PUMPKIN-of-all-things?
Go ahead and read her blog post, and learn how to process fresh pumpkin. She has pretty pictures that you can follow. I will add one more instruction: I put pumpkin in ziplocs in two-cup measures, because all of my Pumpkin Recipes call for two cups--pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies.
And don't forget to click on the "what canned pumpkin is going for on ebay" link. (in case the link expires, here are a few offerings:
4 cans $23.99
1 can $6.00
5 cans $24.99
3 small cans $17.99
1 can $5.00

Seriously? How does America end up with a pumpking shortage!? Don't we stockpile stuff like this?
I think you need to write a new FS for the masses. Let me know what the Lord gives you. :-)
'kay. I am visiting my sister in Phoenix right now, maybe the Lord will give me something "fresh from the desert!"
Still waiting for that 'desert inspired' FS....
