Carved your pumpkin? Don't toss the insides 🎃

That jack-o'-lantern has been hiding dinner inside it all along. Before the scoop goes in the trash, here's what it can turn into, from a cozy stew to something sweet for after. 🎃

💡 Tip: carving pumpkins are big and watery, so roast the flesh before you purée it. Cut it into chunks, roast at 400°F until soft and lightly browned, then blend. If the purée still looks loose, let it drain in a paper-towel-lined sieve for 30 minutes — it will behave much more like canned pumpkin in your baking.
