Pumpkin-tastic!

Just take the word pumppkin and put a plate name after. Like pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookes, pumpkin pasta or whatever.. Get creative! Then go sell your cookies at a fair and make some money. Or take them to a nursing home or old folks home or something like that, do something good for the community!

You can make pies and share them with your neighbors! You can also freeze one or two pies for later. Pumpkin cookies are delicious, especially when you add currants or raisins. Cooked pumpkin is good to add to beef stew or any type of stew. Pumpkin bread, of course, and that's yummy when you have some nuts to put into it. I had some pumpkin/zucchini bread once and it was delicious! Then again, you can always cook it up and freeze it in small batches and make those breads, cookies and pies later.

Oh pumpkins! yum! You should definitely try making pumpkin flans! They'd be more nutritious and yummy than plan leche flans :) Have fun with your pumpkins :)

I'm guessing it's still cold in the UK so I'd suggest that you make heaps of pumpkin soup! It's my favourite soup and can be frozen. It depends on how much freezer space you have but I'd say the best thing to do would be to cook and freeze the pumpkin for later use. It would be shame for any of it to go to waste or for you to get sick of it because you have so much at once! If you really don't have the freezer space and need to do something with the pumpkin now, then I would buy more jars and make some more marmalade. Perhaps decorate them and give them as Easter gifts.

Dehydrating it would be a long process because pumpkins have such a huge amount of water in them. I love Pumpkin Butter. I use it on my morning toast and it's like having a piece of pumpkin pie for breakfast. Also, you can cook down the pumpkin and freeze it for later. Just make sure that you squeeze all the air out of the bag (if you use a bag to store it in your freezer) I've frozen pumpkin and used it several months later. You can also do it with pumpkin bread, cookies etc. Like I say, before freezing if you bag the stuff make sure you get the air out because that's what encourages the moisture to crystallize and cause the freezer burn.

As others have said, I would bake them up and freeze them for future use! You can even puree them and freeze them up in freezer bags in portions that you would use. We love pumpkin everything . . . pumpkin cake, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin soup . . . oh and I'll even dump some in spaghetti sauce for my daughter so she gets that extra vitamin A (it doesn't change the taste of the spaghetti as long as you don't put tons of it in there). If you have any kids, you can do a jack-o-lantern project - even if it's not Halloween season and without Halloween images - something fun to put at the door. Plus as it rots, it can be a good science lesson.

One of my favorite ways to use pumpkin is to chunk it up, cook in a little water, then mash and season like mashed potatoes. It makes a good soup, too, with garlic, onion, butter and spinach. You can dehydrate it to make pumpkin chips. Slice, salt lightly and dehydrate. It's a good snack.

There is always pumpkin pie or pumpkin cheesecake. Look online for some wonderful pumpkin recipes. The internet is always my first source for recipes these days. I hardly ever look in traditional cookbooks anymore, if I do, it's usually just to see cool food pictures.

hi greenmoo You can cook pumpkin and then freeze it, and use later for pies, cookies, in beef stew and as a vegetable which is really yummy cooked and ate like yams or sweet potatoes.As a veggie it has a lot of nutrition in it so has some real health benefits too. the stew with pumpkin is also very yummy too.

Hi, GreenMoo. You can make a pumpkin pie out of it. And you can, use the filling to make cream filled desserts. That is very nice of your neighbors to give you three large pumpkins.

Pumpkin can be made as jam . It is delcious and full of vitamins that helps eyesight clear vision. You can make it also a pumpkin flavor cake . A substitute of carrots cause that is already there. You can make a candy out of it too. So try that one and I'm sure you like to eat it. It is good to eat if we are the one doing it.
