Clean your pumpkin well, being careful to remove manure, dirt, etc. Chop off the stem. Cook the gourd in a 375' F oven for approx 45 minutes per 1/2 pound. A small pumpkin of less than 1 pound works best.

Remove pumpkin and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. During this time, take out sea salt, butter, and your pepper mill.

Chop pumpkin in half with cleaver, butcher knife, or kitchen hatchet. Remove seeds and guts; roast seeds and discard the rest. Remove the skin from th flesh. Place hot pumpkin flesh in a food processor, along with salt, pepper, and butter to taste. Alternately, you may mash the pumpkin flesh by hand until nearly smooth.

Note: If pumpkin is not soft when removed from oven, place back in for 10-15 minutes each time.
