There is a big difference between "Jack-O-Lantern" pumpkins and tasty eating pumpkins. If you want to use fresh pumpkin, choose one that is flattened and more orange than the traditional carver. Halve, scoop the seeds and string, cover loosely with foil, and bake cut side up at 350F for about an hour. Let cool and scoop out the bright orange vegetable. Mash and freeze or can excess.
