Pumpkin Stuffing
Key Points
- Serving size: 109 grams
- For the best buy, choose sugar pumpkins that have firm stalks with bright orange skins and no spots.
- To prepare a sugar pumpkin, poke 3 holes in the pumpkin. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 60-90 minutes at 400 degrees F or until a knife inserted in the pumpkin goes in and out easily. Cool the pumpkin, cut in half, remove the seeds and stringy pulp. Scoop out the soft pulp all the way to the skin.
- To keep fresh, store in a cool dry place for up to 1 month.
- Pumpkin contains vitamin A, which is good for healthy eyes and skin.
