One of the joys of autumn is the many beautiful varieties of pumpkin. I love them all, not to mention the fabulous tasty treats we can make with the rich sweet flesh hiding inside. I prefer to make my own puree for a few reasons (how to make your own homemade pumpkin puree). One, I know what's in it. Two, I don't have to worry about BPAs leeching into my food (post on BPAs). And three, it fills the house with a wonderful smell that just screams Autumn!
