    I cut them in slices, dehydrate,then grind into flour, we clean them- rub them inside with olive oil and sea salt,then stuff them with seasoned Hamburg,onions,potatoes,cabbage,celery- bake for 1 hour for a complete meal.
    Then we cut rinds off ,scoop meat out and puree it in chicken stock for a soup
    Put slices in a pie pan ,add maple flavoring,cream,raw sugar with grated cinnamon and bake for 45 minutes.
    We also feed the rinds to our chickens with greens
    And of course we also make pumpkin pie,cake,bread,and cookies

    My daughter and a couple of friends make pumpkin rolls for Thanksgiving and Christmas, One year there was no canned pumpkins around our area - freeze frying will make their lives a lot easier!! And who does not like pumpkin seeds!!

    I love that you don't waste anything from your volunteer pumpkins. What a blessing to have all of those pumpkins come up. My chickens would eat every one. I am hoping to get a freeze dryer this year so I can preserve more. Right now I just puree and freeze. It was so hot last year that the ONE volunteer pumpkin I did have come up, roasted outside. TFS!

    Love all these ideas! I make a pumpkin candy. Just peel and cube pumpkin, sprinkle with sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Then, bake in a single layer until tender, then dehydrate. They will still be chewy.

    I had surprise butternut squash grow, thanks to our chickens. Covered our whole back yard. But we did have squash 😅. I also seen another TH-cam channel make pumpkin pie, ready to use. She freeze dried everything you goes in a pie, sealed it in jar all she did was add liquid and cooked it.

    My favorite pumpkin food is pumpkin bread with raisins. My kids love it without the raisins. I clean out the pumpkin and bake it, then puree the pulp and freeze it, 1 cup to a bag and use it all year long. I don't have a freeze dryer. ❤️👍🇺🇲

    • @TheProvidentPrepper

      That's a great solution! I was actually going to mention that and then I forgot. You can freeze most of this stuff too!

    @JessicaDavis-sw3yq 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I recently pressure canned pumpkin for the first time. Your video has given me some ideas for the next time I need to preserve pumpkin. I especially love the way you prepared the puree to add to dog food. Such a great way to give our pup extra nutrition.

  • @cindyweston3157
    @cindyweston3157 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I also LOVE pumpkin! I had never considered using the pieces nd parts to create puppy pumpkin treats. For sure on this year's list of preserving. I love to add pumpkin to my oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries, pecans and orange zest. Thank you for this video and all your uses for 0 waste pumpkin preserving. Thank you to Angela and the sponsors for Freeze Dried February.

    @holliebarnes7015 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I haven’t done pumpkins.. but have done squash and oh my! I roast them, mash them, spread them on my trays and freeze dry them. Once they are done I blend it into a powder and then I have instant squash! We usually add a bit of butter and brown sugar or sometimes just salt and pepper. It’s the absolute best.. just spend some time prepping and then the rest of the year I don’t have to mess with cooking a big ole squash if I want some with dinner.

    You guys make excellent videos and I LOVE how you showed all the ways to take advantage of a "volunteer" crop and waste nothing. We had the same thing happen in our compost pile last summer with Butternut Squash. WHAT a blessing! We got 20 beautiful squash, so we had enough to cure, can, blanch, and freeze, as well as share with family.

  • @jackedwards3164

  • @renitameares3838
    @renitameares3838 ปีที่แล้ว

    I, too, am not a fan of pumpkin except for pumpkin cheesecake. Anything cheesecake, right? But I had decorative pumpkins that I gave to my chickens after Thanksgiving a year ago. We also ended up with beautiful volunteer vines and more pumpkins. Pumpkins for the chickens, goats, sheep and dogs. I will try freeze drying next year!

    My hubby and I are doing a "The Provident Prepper" video-watching marathon. We have learned so much from you. It's cool how we discuss ideas and try new prepping methods after watching your videos. We're new to prepping, so there is much to discuss and try! I'm not a pumpkin person, but my hubby is, so I see more pumpkin in my future. (I might actually like the cheesecake bites.) It looks like our dogs are going to get some pumpkin, too. Thanks for the endless tips.

    Ohmygoodness! All kinds of ways to use and preserve pumpkin! That is phenominal! (Sorry for "yelling" - I'm so excited to try this!) It looks like the pumpkin seeds might have been the "naked" or hull-less variety? I will definitely be trying some of this for our pumpkin. Thanks so much for sharing! One of my favorite ways to use pumpkin is actually to make a vegan mac-n-cheez. Pureed cooked pumpkin is used to color the sauce, so it looks more like traditional cheese. Combined with coconut milk and nutritional yeast (plus a few spices), this becomes a great way to sneak in veggies for my family. My teenager picks this over traditional macaroni and cheese every time.
