Seeds were removed from four pumpkins and the seeds processed into a purée. This purée is highly nutritional. Slightly more than a litre was obtained and placed in small containers and frozen for long term storage.The purée is used as a supplement added to cereal for breakfast or it may be eaten as a snack.The purée has the consistency of table butter, and has a creamy flavour. The process is to remove seeds from the pumpkin, cook about an hour in a double boiler, strain water, put through a Champion Juicer to remove the seed pulp from the shell and store.

Thank for sharing: you can also do this with a Cushaw Squash which has an extra gene than other winter squashes. It took me over 5 years to find this historical squash the Native Americans shared with the owners of my historical property to grow and survive with during the long winter months. When I finally found the historical seed in 2005. My husband took me to visit the Coushatta Indians in Texas "ON TI CHUKA" means Welcome. I learned so much from my visit with them while my Cushaws were growing back on this property as it grew here over 100 years ago. I learned so much from Coushatta Natives.
