Hey guys! Nice to meet you! I'm here thanks to Angela and the collaboration! I'm blown away at how much you made out of those pumpkins!! You guys seem like you make a great team! Thanks for sharing with us all!
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
Okay you guys are amazing!!! I can't believe how much you showed us so quickly! The pumpkins are gorgeous!!! I want to get learn all of these different things to freeze dry and how to use! The cheesecake bites.....ummmm yum! Those trays look like it made light work?!? I love cream cheese, pumpkin and powdered sugar mixed. Oh and cause Momma would love, maybe swirl in some chocolate ❤😂
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!
Hi Providents...hope all is well my hack...i love pickles...never throw pickle 🥒 juice out...buy fresh cucumbers 🥒 cucumbers 🥒 wah thoroughly hot water slice and put them in the juice rhey are the freshest omgoodness wonderful pickles....enjoy
Kylene, you are super cute! Love seeing the two of you bounce off each other as you teach. I never thought of blending up the leftovers for the dogs. Great idea.
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. ❤️👍🇺🇲
Love all the ways you gave us for preservation of those pumpkins. This collab has made me a believer in the freeze dryers. I use to think they were so overpriced, but the ease of preserving really makes it a viable tool in our arsenal. I want one!
What awesome things that you did with your freeze dried pumpkins! It’s great that you made doggy treats with the pumpkin discard/ waste. Once again, AWESOME IDEAS guys! 😊
I started watching your channel while on a mission with my wife in Sweden. I have learned so much from you. This video on freeze drying pumpkin is very fascinating! We purchased our freeze dryer just before we left on our mission and now that we are back,I can't wait to try your tips
Oooohhh.. pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread,pumpkin cookies, pumpkin in my oatmeal! Thank you for sharing your “pumpkin experience”! And those pumpkin seeds! 👌
I make all my cat and dog's food and treats. I can't wait till I can get one of the freeze dryers. This will help me to be able to keep their foods and treats for long term. OOOOH I am so excited and am taking massive notes on my future food preservation. Thank you for sharing.
Saving the seed is a great way to make sure you have pumpkins in the future. I’m learning more about saving seeds too. I will look for the recipes for te treats, they look amazing, especially the cheesecake bites!!
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.
Kylene & Jonathan- so glad you joined this collaboration! You two are so fun to watch!! I love the pumpkin ideas. I freeze dry but had never considered freeze drying a pumpkin or gourd. Maybe grind some of the cooked pumpkin meat to make a pumpkin spice and add it to favorite beverages and foods. Yummy! Thank for the great idea!!
So excited that you are part of Freeze Dried February. I love pumpkin too and think all of your pumpkin recipes look great. Learned a lot, as usual, watching your video. 😊
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.
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.
We are also on a "no waste" kick around our house. Ask me how I use a rotisserie chicken! LOL We use dried pumpkin in our home-made dog food too. Thank you for the fun video.
Awe, the pups enjoy the freeze dryer too! Also the convenience of not fighting the crowd in Autumn for pumpkin anything. Those cheesecake bites look so good!
I've never been a fan of pumpkin until I had some white chocolate chip pumpkin cookies. They were amazing and won me over. Thank you for sharing the different ways of using/preserving pumpkins.
I'm still evaluating my circumstances, but i love freeze dryed fruit! Thanks for all these ideas and showing how to prep seed for saving and eating! ❤ No waste!
I came here for freeze dried February and found so many interesting videos I ended up subscribing. I’ve already watched your videos on extending the shelf life of brown rice and Aloo Palak, and there are several more I want to watch tonight. I’m glad I found your channel.
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.
Oh my goodness! I am so excited for all these recipes. I’m getting my first freeze dryer in a couple months and I’m planting pumpkins for the first time.
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.
You are FANTASTIC! I ❤ your channel. Keep growing those accidental pumpkins and so happy to see you in Freezedryer February. This video gave so many ideas.
Thank you!! You made me rethink growing pumpkins this year aaaaand another way a freeze dryer can be an asset to my family. My favorite pumpkin anything is a pumpkin roll. Never made one, but it is my favorite!
This was super inspiring. I recently discovered how great pumpkin is when a neighbor gave me one of their sugar pies. I saved the seed and am looking forward to growing them myself
Thank you! Love the dog food supplement for their food. After making chicken bone broth I pull off everything left on the bones and freeze dry it for dog treats! They LOVE it
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!
Thank You for participating in this year's #freezedriedfebruary, what a GREAT NO-Waste video. This is RIGHT up my alley... I am a no waste kitchen if at all possible! The boiling the seeds is a great hack, love it!
Oh, this was definitely the video for me. I grew so many pumpkins this past season I was giving them away. I did preserve a lot of them, but I am so excited to try the cheesecake bites and the pumpkin pie bites. Thank you so much.💕
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.
Oh dear ... a marathon ... you really need to find something more interesting that us old folks! I'm glad that it stimulates ideas for you. The pumpkin cheesecake bites are awesome!
I’m definitely trying the cheese cake bites. This year I made a quadruple batch of roasted pumpkin soup and freeze dried them into 4 serving MREs. -Natalie
Great video. You are so creative with the scraps. What a great treat for the fur babies. I want to try your way of roasting the seeds. My favorite...everything pumpkin! Thanks 😊
Wow Kylene, great idea for a video on freeze drying. I love all winter squash and would freeze dry shreds, chunks, and purees as well as sweet treats. Pumpkin is good in soups and chili 's as well as cassaroles. Hope to someday obtain a Harvest Right.
Thank you for this timely video! I still have 4 small pumpkins sitting on my counter right now and I was trying to figure out what to do with them. The pup treats were a new idea to me! That's freakin' genius.
I am excited for this to be one of the things that I freeze dry when I start freeze drying. I think the pumpkin would taste better being rehydrated instead of canning it or freezing in the freezer. Thanks for showing us how to do this. !!
This was so interesting. I really liked that you put the pumpkin seeds in hot water before baking and said they were so much better. I will have to try this. Thank you for sharing.
Thank You for such a awesome Freeze Dried Lesson. I love how you show so many things to do with freeze dried pumpkins and such awesome recipes. Such a great examples....Thank you for sharing
I love all your videos. Thank you for sharing all the knowledge about food preservation. I wish I had a freeze drier. For now, I am dehydrating some food.

Goodness , you used the entire pumpkin - I love that the Pup even got the fruits of the labor.
Great ideas! Thank you.

I love all the usual pumpkin items, in addition; I like coconut curry pumpkin soup, pumpkin butter cake, and pumpkin oatmeal breakfast cookies.
I would love your recipe for coconut pumpkin soup! That sounds awesome!
Hi Providents...hope all is well my hack...i love pickles...never throw pickle 🥒 juice out...buy fresh cucumbers 🥒 cucumbers 🥒 wah thoroughly hot water slice and put them in the juice rhey are the freshest omgoodness wonderful pickles....enjoy
Way to go with your appreciation of pumpkins! I love the no waste theory. Mr. Baa Humbug will love the pumpkin cheesecake bites.
Kylene, you are super cute! Love seeing the two of you bounce off each other as you teach. I never thought of blending up the leftovers for the dogs. Great idea.
Oh thank you!
I have owned my FD for 1 year and love the products it produces. I have been coveting the Avid Armor ever since. Wish me luck!
I loved the idea of making pet food from the peels. Our dogs would love that! No waste is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your ideas!
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. ❤️👍🇺🇲
That's a great solution! I was actually going to mention that and then I forgot. You can freeze most of this stuff too!
Love all the ways you gave us for preservation of those pumpkins. This collab has made me a believer in the freeze dryers. I use to think they were so overpriced, but the ease of preserving really makes it a viable tool in our arsenal. I want one!
I love the idea of treats for dogs. Pumpkin is so good for them.

You had me at pumpkin! I absolutely love all things pumpkin. Thank you for sharing your tips and recipes and for participating in this collaboration.
I have been afraid to plant pumpkins because I didn’t know if I could process them but I see know. I can do this! Thank you.
I make all my cat and dog's food and treats. I can't wait till I can get one of the freeze dryers. This will help me to be able to keep their foods and treats for long term. OOOOH I am so excited and am taking massive notes on my future food preservation. Thank you for sharing.

How do you use a rotisserie chicken? I'd love to know :)
Thank you for being a part of this collab. I enjoyed your video very much
Thank you too!
What a great use of pumpkin! Especially for the dogs. Dogs love frozen pumpkin and its sooo good for them.
The cheesecake bites sound AMAZING! I love anything pumpkin, but cheesecake is the best!
Wow, great prize lineup! I've had my FD for a year, so as you know, all accesdories and supplues are welcome!
I love anything pumpkin.
Those pumpkin cheesecake bites look AHHHMAZING
I absolutely loved all the ways you used the whole pumpkin. I have never grown pumpkins, but this year I will! Thanks to you both for the inspiration.
Awe, the pups enjoy the freeze dryer too! Also the convenience of not fighting the crowd in Autumn for pumpkin anything. Those cheesecake bites look so good!
Thank you Provident pepper. We love pumpkins and so many things to do with them. Wow
Nice! No waste and EVERYONE gets some!!!!
I've never been a fan of pumpkin until I had some white chocolate chip pumpkin cookies. They were amazing and won me over.

I never thought of pumpkin in so many ways. Thank you. I love pumpkin cinnamon rolls
Thank you! Love the dog food supplement for their food. After making chicken bone broth I pull off everything left on the bones and freeze dry it for dog treats! They LOVE it
Thanks for showing how to use the entire pumpkin.
I never realized how much I was wasting until I started preserving our homegrown harvests :)
I love using freeze dried pumpkin for quick bread.
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.

I’m definitely trying the cheese cake bites. This year I made a quadruple batch of roasted pumpkin soup and freeze dried them into 4 serving MREs. -Natalie
I did the same thing with my pumpkins. Now I have 2 quarts of pumpkin powder for upcoming pumpkin soup dinners.
Just beginning my freeze dying journey. Thank you for sharing this video
What fun! I’ve got to work on getting a freeze dryer! I love how you found uses for all the pumpkin bits! Thanks Provident Preppers!
That is a lot of pumpkin! Thanks for the tip on pumpkins seeds and the chocolate- pumpkin combination!
No waste that's great. I have to start freeze drying more. I do love it. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. You are so creative with the scraps. What a great treat for the fur babies. I want to try your way of roasting the seeds. My favorite...everything pumpkin! Thanks 😊
I am so excited! I love pumpkins, I can them, dehydrate and freeze dry! Now I need silicone tray thank you so much

We love pumpkins and winter squash. I can't wait to try some of these options.
Ohhhh I never thought about cooking down the pumpkin bits for the chickens.
This was so interesting. I really liked that you put the pumpkin seeds in hot water before baking and said they were so much better. I will have to try this. Thank you for sharing.
Everything you made sounds fantastic. I make a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving and everyone looks forward to it every year.
Pumpkin freeze dried is great
I saw pumpkin powder on a popular online store and thought what a great product to store.
What a great idea for the seeds and the skins! TY!
I think that you could even substitute lots of other 9:50 different winter squash for all of these ideas. So exciting. 😊 thanks for the great video
My baked seeds rarely last the day. I will need to try the everything bagel seasoning on my next batch. What great ideas for no waste.
Great ideals for pumpkin. Hopefully they will grow in north Idaho!
Love everything pumpkin! I always roast my pumpkin seeds, but never thought about everything bagel seasoning.❤
I tried growing pumpkins once, ended up with gourds. Ill try your over the fence technique. Seriously, thanks for all the great ideas! Well done.😊
i love seeing all the different freeze drying options.
I love pumpkin! cant wait for garden harvest 2024! #freezedriedfebruary
You have me sold. I need to grow more pumpkins-lol. Also, the freeze drier really supports food storage. Great video!
Thank You for such a awesome Freeze Dried Lesson. I love how you show so many things to do with freeze dried pumpkins and such awesome recipes. Such a great examples....Thank you for sharing
What great ideas! Now I need to grow more pumpkins in my garden this year so that I can make all of these yummy treats!
I’m planning to grow pumpkins this year for the first time ever! Great ideas
I love all your videos. Thank you for sharing all the knowledge about food preservation. I wish I had a freeze drier. For now, I am dehydrating some food.
Such a good way to use all the pumpkin.
