Do you think that I could make the broth the day before my brunch event? Then reheat the broth the next day and add the seafood?

This is a lot easier. Still a mess but that’s half the fun haha! I used two small pie pumpkins in my large crockpot. Made a much tastier filling in my opinion, and so easy!

You can also cook a pumpkin whole in the microwave. Remove the stalk, and slice off the top third of the pumpkin. Scoop out seeds etc. Add a clove of garlic, finely chopped, 1tsp. Cinnamon and a large knob butter. Replace the pumpkin top and cook for 30 mins until soft. Add salt and pepper to the inside, scoop and serve.

In reply to Blue. Yes, yes, yes! Most people don't but you sure can (and we do!). There are SO many kinds of pumpkins and hard squashes that you can cook like this with all kinds of different flavor profiles. I'd hit up the farmer's market and find some recommendations on new to your pumpkins for eating. I have a recipe post for roasting pumpkins and squash too, it's also a great way to cook them for eating!

I cook homemade pumpkin pies every year and this is by far the easiest way. I won’t cook my pumpkins any other way. Thanks for sharing!

Can you eat it without pureeing it? Like just chunked out on a plate as a side. If like to try it without the added sweetness most of us are accustomed to. Get the natural taste of it with salt maybe. Is this recommended? Thank you your video and article are wonderful and look amazingly delicious.
