Pumpkin Pie Filling INSTRUCTIONS
1.Cut the tops off of the pumpkins in a circle, just like you would for making a jack-o-lantern.
2.Quarter the pumpkins from the top down and scoop out the seeds and tendrils. (Keep seeds for pepitas if you like.).
3.Place the pumpkin shells meat-side up on a large cookie sheet or other sided baking dish.
4.Smear the inner surfaces of the pumpkins with the butter.
5.Sprinkle the brown sugar and spices, including a small bit of salt, over the shells.
6.Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until you can easily stab through the flesh with a fork.
7. Let stand to cool.
8. Gently cut away the outer skin. .
9.Puree, mash, or process the meat to the desired consistency for the recipe you're preparing - very smooth for a mousse, less so for a standard pie.
