When using real pumpkin, do you remove the rind before roasting?? thanks, Jim.

Jim - I usually roast either whole or cut in half, rind on. Makes scraping the flesh out oh-so-easy.

The first few years I did pumpkins, I spent the time peeling them prior to roasting..what a waste of time. If you cut them in half, remove the "guts", and bake them skin-up, the flesh practically falls off the skin. I bake them skin-down, like a bowl, because I put brown sugar in them while baking. It takes a little more effort to remove the flesh from the skins, but still easier than peeling raw pumpkins.
