Gosh I am suddenly in love with Kathy Hester! Pray tell me the meaning of “MoFo?” My goodness I love pumpkins but always thought the small ones were for decoration only.
Thank you for expanding my horizons! Happy Fall!

Hi Kathy, if only I had known about toasting the seeds after slow-cooking the pumpkin–I would not have binned them. There’s always the next time!

In reply to Sarah. It really depends on the size of your pie pumpkin, but each one could be 3 to 6 cups approx. Congrats on your upcoming weeding!

How much puree would this make roughly? I am super stoked to try this!! i’m getting married in the end of november and making mini pumpkin pies for dessert, i would love to do this instead of buying cans upon cans of it in the store!

In reply to Kerri. A pie pumpkin can have anywhere from 2 to 4 cans worth. They vary a good bit in size and weight.

Thanks for sharing, what a great idea. I’m wondering about how much puree in a pie pumpkin? Could always do several and freeze for future use.

In reply to Suburban Snow White. You can cut the pumpkin in half first. I like to leave it whole because they can be so hard to cut through uncooked. But you should use the way that makes you happy!

That is really fascinating! I would never have thought of just sticking a whole pumpkin in the crockpot. My crockpot is wider and shallower. I’m assuming it would still work if one cut the pumpkin in half? (Maybe messier, but I’m not a neat and tidy cook anyway.)

Love this method! It’s funny we did it on the same day! I am not afraid of cooking pumpkins now. Thanks for showing a quick easy way to cook them! 🙂
