When fall turns to spring, most people just throw them out.
The Last of the Jack Be Little Pumpkins |
First, preheat the oven to 350 and then cut off the caps and hang onto them. We'll use them later. Scoop out all the seeds with a spoon. Later on we'll roast those in the oven with some butter, salt and garlic powder.
Scooping out the seeds |
What you have remaining is an empty pumpkin shell. Sprinkle the inside of the pumpkin with kosher salt and black pepper.
Then fill each of the pumpkins with applesauce. That looks festive, doesn't it?
Ready to Roast |
Put the caps on the Jack-Be-Little Pumpkins and pop them in the preheated oven. Let them roast between 45 minutes and an hour. You'll be able to tell that the pumpkin flesh is tender.
In the oven |
Even though it is spring, when you pull them out of the oven and take the cap off, the whole kitchen fills with the smell of fall.
Ready to Eat! |
Now if you'd like, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon on it. Take your spoon and scrape the inside of the pumpkin to mix the pumpkin and applesauce.
Mixing it up |
And now it is time to eat...
The first spoonful |
Jack-Be-Little Pumpkins. They're not just for decoration anymore!
