How to Roast A Pumpkin!
First, split the pumpkin in half and scrape out seeds and strings with a spoon. Reserve the seeds for toasting!
Method 1: Spray the two halves with baking spray oil, then put them upside down in a baking dish. Bake at 350ºF for about an hour, depending on the size of your pumpkin, until the flesh inside is very soft. This can take up to 90 minutes. Scrape the flesh out of the halves and run through a food processor until smooth.
Method 2: Cut the cleaned pumpkin into quarters and place them pumpkin side up, rind down, in a baking dish. Bake at 350ºF for 45-60 minutes. Scrape off the flesh and whiz through a food processor until smooth.
The first method gives a slightly softer texture, while the second gives a darker, more roasted flavor to the pumpkin, which I prefer, personally.
After the the pumpkin has been pureed, it will stay good in the fridge for up to three days. It can also be frozen for several months.
Market News
Hello!
The weather is letting us know that Fall is here! The shorter days and chilly mornings are a lovely change, although it does make it a bit harder to get all the work done in a day!
The produce is definitely Fall-like this week! Lots of great winter squashes, greens galore, and many other items. The bounty and diversity of vegetables available this time of year really can’t be beat!
There is some beautiful organic head lettuce up on the Market this week.
We are still featuring fresh ginger from Rocky Glade Farm, as well as pie pumpkins! These pumpkins are of good eating quality – they are not bland and stringy like the carving types. Now is the time to stock up and roast a bunch for your pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving! There are some roasting instructions in the recipe section.
The flowers are still going strong but only have a few weeks left! The orange marigolds are in – boy are they bright and festive! Make your day and get yourself a luscious bouquet of these fragrant and gorgeous fall flowers.
Please remember to return your bags! We are getting low this time of year.
We appreciate your support, and will see you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
