Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Made this for the first time in November 2016 when I brought my Jack O Lantern Pumpkins in from the cold and made my roasted pumpkin seeds from the pumpkins. I baked at 400 pieces with skin on in the oven for an hour or so. Pureed it and used 3 cups of it in this delish Chili. Betty enjoyed it even though it was a bit spicy. Made my Cornmeal muffins with it. We all loved!!! M,T,A,B approved.... Keeper as Betty would say.
