I had 3 pumpkins that the vines dried on and didn't want them to waste. I found Kitten's recipe and it was easy as the pie filling I plan to make when I find a recipe for it and / or for Pumpkin butter! This recipe is easy and even a beginner could do this! I have never made fresh pumpkin before and I will be again if my recipe for filling and butter come out! Thank you Kitten!
