How do I use thee, pumpkin powder.? ..Let me count the ways! So many exciting recipes are enhanced with the addition of pumpkin powder--fresh pasta, muffins, ice cream, pumpkin bread, meatloaf, pancakes, cakes, and the list goes on. If you have a dehydrator or a freeze dryer, you can make your own. It keeps well and is a great addition to your food storage.

I want to be Rose Red when I grow up! I mean seriously she knows how to do everything! And she’s so cheerful and her personality is so bright. I bet she lights up every room she walks into! Love love love you Rose Red! Thanks for teaching us so many wonderful things!

I feel the same way. I think the secret to her success in that is that when she doesn’t know something, she know it - and she looks it up from a reputable source!

So it appears that dehydrating pumpkin takes a bit of work, but the return on the investment is a very dense powder that will go a long way in the end. LOL, now I've got visions of pumpkin-spice cake dancing through my head!

My husband took a heavy stainless steel serving spoon and sharpened the sides like a knife. It works wonderfully, and I keep it with my canning supplies.

@prissy2345 2 года назад

In the spring my garden was flooded and the vines almost died. My pumpkins are about the same size as the ones you have. In the past I have struggled with trying to cut and scrape and chop them to make pies and bread. This year I figured out if I use a 1 or 2 inch paddle bit and drill a hole in each end place it in the microwave for 8 to 10 minutes when it comes out it is soft and easy to peel and the seeds are easier to scrape out. With an exit for steam to escape there is no chance of a pumpkin explosion in the microwave. Lol Its faster and less stress on hands and wrist I can process more back to back. Hope this helps everyone who dislikes cutting up pumpkins in the fall as much as I dislike it. Love all your blogs ,thank you for sharing. Rebecca

Pam, last month I cut, cubed & canned a 15 lb pumpkin from my garden. Due to age & arthritis, just the cutting, cubing & peeling took me all day. And a week of pain. Today, I took another 14 lb pumpkin off the vine. I decided to put the whole pumpkin, stem & all, into my 23 quart Presto. Steam canned for 10 minutes. What a wrist, hand, arm saver, as well as time saver. I cut, peeled, and grated the pumpkin up for the dehydrator (thanks for the grating tip), as well as cleaned the kitchen, all in 1 1/2 hours. I am sure different sizes and types of courgettes will need different times. but 10 minutes worked perfectly for my 14 pounder. I can highly recommend this work saver tip!

Great techniques here. I used the T-shape peeler and it's great! Much better than using a knife! The canning jar lid worked perfectly as a scraper! Pumpkin powder for tomorrow's pumpkin spice pancakes and it really didn't take much time at all. Thank you for another very helpful video.

@imari2305 2 года назад

I'm really enjoying the food storage powder series Mrs. Pam. I didn't know you could make pumpkin powder this way. Dehydrating compared to freeze drying yields way less but either ways works. I don't have a deydrator or freeze dryer so I guess I'll just use my oven. Thanks again Mrs. Pam for sharing this with us. 🙂

@lat1419 2 года назад

The methods used, dehydrating vs freeze dried, produce different volumes, from the same weight of pumpkin. So it's not "less" from dehydrating, as it's the same amount of pumpkin, but a smaller dried volume.

@gardengrowinmawmaw8642 2 года назад

Aren't both these machines fun? I reconstitute the exact way you do with the dehydrated powder. What amazes me is the little space this powder takes up vs. pumpkin in jars or tin cans. I'll take the powder any day!! Thank you for the great content! Waiting on the next video!

@paulaparsons9197 2 года назад

You're very close to 100k. I'm excited for you! I don't have a dehydrator or freeze dryer but I still love watching you. Maybe I'll have to check in to getting one.

@dianaanderson6448 2 года назад

I found a barely used dehydrator at the thrift store for $13. It works great and I'm so happy I started. I've been making herb and spice powders and preserving extra food from the garden. Best of luck you find one soon!

@Favorite-catNip 2 года назад

Was glowing. Had a small portion left to add to cornbread. Best success. You can do it.👍🤔👌

@Favorite-catNip 2 года назад

You can use a multi purpose appliance. We were gift a glass air fyer. Has the heating element in the top. I can squeeze 4/11 inch rounds. It takes a bit of monitoring as the timer only works 1 hrs. The excess liquid condenses on sides & bottom. It was a good start in experimentation. I was very successful with citrus. And powder the rinds was excellent. I will use the powder added to hot tea & vanilla cake etc. With all unknown future I thought it best to embrace all possibilities. I've done a 10 inch pumpkin. Cleaned & roughly chopped. Leaving skin on. The air frying process on low was successful. I peeled the out rind for pumpkin powder. The rest I made a delicious pumpkin soup that was extremely tasty and Healthy.

@jeannettemckay1536 2 года назад

Once you have a dehydrator, there's no turning back. Food preservation using one is so easy and very satisfying. Builds prep pantries quickly. If you only dehydrate one pound of food a day, you would have the equivalent of 365 pounds of food in a year which is shelf stable using a fraction of shelf space. if stored correctly, dehyd. food Good luck to you.

@carolholmes5565 2 года назад

If you have an oven you can dehydrate on low setting.

@nancypeplau9747 2 года назад

Pam, score your pumpkin for the freeze dryer to make it more manageable. Just use that square scraper to smooth it out then score/divide each tray. I do the same thing with Yams, pumpkin or any purée squash. Wait till you try FD Yams, they are delicious even as a snack in chunks. I personally like the powders for storage and reconstituting. Great video.

@jetryan624 2 года назад

Do you have a website or presentation that you do on the internet like Pam does? Do you prefer the freeze-drying to the regular dehydrator? And if so, which one? I'm trying to decide it's so expensive to do either one. I learned just recently that the brand new convection oven I bought for myself for my birthday has a dehydrator function! And I'm nervous to use it

@lindacarter6178 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! I wasn't able to grow pumpkins this year, but I'm hoping I can get pumpkins on sale after the first of November.

Thanks! You’re always coming up with something fabulous! I love how scientific and detailed you are with everything you do. It builds confidence in your viewers that they can trust you and they can repeat the process and have similar results. This may be our answer to the canning dilemma. It will store in much less space. I’m excited to see your surprise!

And...I just gifted my self with the grater attachment for my old Kitchen Aid, so I'm all set. I love the space savings of powders. The canning lid hack is brilliant. Makes me want to hit my forehead with the heel of my hand and say, "I coulda had a V-8!" Love the internet. Love the sharing.

Just had to come back and make a comment. I took pie pumpkin while set in my instant pot with 1 cup water on steam for 15 mins, let cool. Sliced easy then. Used canning lid to seed and then peeler for skin after I sliced in 1" slices. Worked like a charm. So much less to clean up and less hands on. Dehydrating now then I'll powder

You talked me into freeze drying some pumpkins! I love what you did. My husband adores pumpkin pie, so I can talk him into helping me. Here is my question: If you have freeze dried eggs, how much of the freeze dried egg powder and water do you add to make it like a fresh egg/pumpkin pie? Would you have a recipe developed for freeze dried pumpkin pie with freeze dried eggs? I can see this going into you & your sister Cindy’s new book! I would love that and I bet everyone would too. Thank you for this video. Again, as always, I learned so much. Next question: would you do a video on pumpkin seeds? My mom and grandmother never had fresh pumpkins at all. I’m clueless. 🧡

@nccrchurchunusual 2 года назад

I just separate the seeds (give the stringy stuff to any kind of bird or compost) rinse seeds & springle whatever seasonings you like while they are wet. I taste them- then pop them into a cooler over like 225 or 300 for as long as it takes to get them crispy. I find making them real crispy ensures the outer seed hull is as edible as the inner seed.
