- It is increasingly important to take advantage of the resources that we have been blessed with. In this video, we take volunteer pumpkins that started as a Halloween decoration and turned into shelf-stable pumpkin pleasures.

Use it up
Wear it out
Make it do
OR DO WITHOUT !!
Goodness , you used the entire pumpkin - I love that the Pup even got the fruits of the labor.
I cut them in slices, dehydrate,then grind into flour, we clean them- rub them inside with olive oil and sea salt,then stuff them with seasoned Hamburg,onions,potatoes,cabbage,celery- bake for 1 hour for a complete meal.
Then we cut rinds off ,scoop meat out and puree it in chicken stock for a soup
Put slices in a pie pan ,add maple flavoring,cream,raw sugar with grated cinnamon and bake for 45 minutes.
We also feed the rinds to our chickens with greens
And of course we also make pumpkin pie,cake,bread,and cookies
Okay you guys are amazing!!! I can't believe how much you showed us so quickly! The pumpkins are gorgeous!!! I want to get learn all of these different things to freeze dry and how to use! The cheesecake bites.....ummmm yum! Those trays look like it made light work?!? I love cream cheese, pumpkin and powdered sugar mixed. Oh and cause Momma would love, maybe swirl in some chocolate ❤😂
Awesome idea!!
Hey guys! Nice to meet you! I'm here thanks to Angela and the collaboration!
I'm blown away at how much you made out of those pumpkins!!
You guys seem like you make a great team!
Thanks for sharing with us all!
Welcome!!
My daughter and a couple of friends make pumpkin rolls for Thanksgiving and Christmas, One year there was no canned pumpkins around our area - freeze frying will make their lives a lot easier!! And who does not like pumpkin seeds!!
I never realized how much I was wasting until I started preserving our homegrown harvests :)
Awe, the pups enjoy the freeze dryer too! Also the convenience of not fighting the crowd in Autumn for pumpkin anything. Those cheesecake bites look so good!
GO FREEZE DRY FEBRUARY!
I had surprise butternut squash grow, thanks to our chickens. Covered our whole back yard. But we did have squash 😅. I also seen another UA-cam channel make pumpkin pie, ready to use. She freeze dried everything you goes in a pie, sealed it in jar all she did was add liquid and cooked it.
I love the idea of treats for dogs. Pumpkin is so good for them.
Meeting you on MARCH 6th for the drawings! Woohoo!
Hi Providents...hope all is well my hack...i love pickles...never throw pickle 🥒 juice out...buy fresh cucumbers 🥒 cucumbers 🥒 wah thoroughly hot water slice and put them in the juice rhey are the freshest omgoodness wonderful pickles....enjoy
Nice! No waste and EVERYONE gets some!!!!
We are also on a "no waste" kick around our house. Ask me how I use a rotisserie chicken! LOL We use dried pumpkin in our home-made dog food too. Thank you for the fun video.
How do you use a rotisserie chicken? I'd love to know :)
I love anything pumpkin.
I have owned my FD for 1 year and love the products it produces. I have been coveting the Avid Armor ever since. Wish me luck!
Way to go with your appreciation of pumpkins! I love the no waste theory. Mr. Baa Humbug will love the pumpkin cheesecake bites.
Absolutely no waste! I love this! Treats, snacks, staples, great pantry diversity! Thank you!
Kylene, you are super cute! Love seeing the two of you bounce off each other as you teach. I never thought of blending up the leftovers for the dogs. Great idea.
Oh thank you!
Oooohhh.. pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread,pumpkin cookies, pumpkin in my oatmeal! Thank you for sharing your “pumpkin experience”! And those pumpkin seeds! 👌
Wow, great prize lineup! I've had my FD for a year, so as you know, all accesdories and supplues are welcome!
I loved the idea of making pet food from the peels. Our dogs would love that! No waste is wonderful! Thank you for sharing your ideas!
I'm all for waste not, want not. Thank you for sharing.
Love all the ways you gave us for preservation of those pumpkins. This collab has made me a believer in the freeze dryers. I use to think they were so overpriced, but the ease of preserving really makes it a viable tool in our arsenal. I want one!
You had me at pumpkin! I absolutely love all things pumpkin. Thank you for sharing your tips and recipes and for participating in this collaboration.
Kylene & Jonathan- so glad you joined this collaboration! You two are so fun to watch!! I love the pumpkin ideas. I freeze dry but had never considered freeze drying a pumpkin or gourd. Maybe grind some of the cooked pumpkin meat to make a pumpkin spice and add it to favorite beverages and foods. Yummy! Thank for the great idea!!
Pumpkin chili, pumpkin bread and of course pumpkin pie 🥧 ❤
My favorite pumpkin food is pumpkin bread with raisins. My kids love it without the raisins. I clean out the pumpkin and bake it, then puree the pulp and freeze it, 1 cup to a bag and use it all year long. I don't have a freeze dryer. ❤️👍🇺🇲
That's a great solution! I was actually going to mention that and then I forgot. You can freeze most of this stuff too!
What awesome things that you did with your freeze dried pumpkins! It’s great that you made doggy treats with the pumpkin discard/ waste. Once again, AWESOME IDEAS guys! 😊
I love all the usual pumpkin items, in addition; I like coconut curry pumpkin soup, pumpkin butter cake, and pumpkin oatmeal breakfast cookies.
I would love your recipe for coconut pumpkin soup! That sounds awesome!
We love punkin
I started watching your channel while on a mission with my wife in Sweden. I have learned so much from you.
This video on freeze drying pumpkin is very fascinating! We purchased our freeze dryer just before we left on our mission and now that we are back,I can't wait to try your tips
I love that you don't waste anything from your volunteer pumpkins. What a blessing to have all of those pumpkins come up. My chickens would eat every one. I am hoping to get a freeze dryer this year so I can preserve more. Right now I just puree and freeze. It was so hot last year that the ONE volunteer pumpkin I did have come up, roasted outside. TFS!
Those pumpkin cheesecake bites look AHHHMAZING
I have been afraid to plant pumpkins because I didn’t know if I could process them but I see know. I can do this! Thank you.
So excited that you are part of Freeze Dried February. I love pumpkin too and think all of your pumpkin recipes look great. Learned a lot, as usual, watching your video. 😊
I make all my cat and dog's food and treats. I can't wait till I can get one of the freeze dryers. This will help me to be able to keep their foods and treats for long term. OOOOH I am so excited and am taking massive notes on my future food preservation. Thank you for sharing.
I love this idea for dog treats
Pumpkin freeze dried is great
Oh my gosh what great ideas, especially for the puppies.
Thank you, thank you for putting this collaboration together!
Ohhhh I never thought about cooking down the pumpkin bits for the chickens.
Saving the seed is a great way to make sure you have pumpkins in the future. I’m learning more about saving seeds too. I will look for the recipes for te treats, they look amazing, especially the cheesecake bites!!
What a great use of pumpkin! Especially for the dogs. Dogs love frozen pumpkin and its sooo good for them.
Thanks for showing how to use the entire pumpkin.
Thank you for being a part of this collab. I enjoyed your video very much
Thank you too!
Thank you Provident pepper. We love pumpkins and so many things to do with them. Wow
The cheesecake bites sound AMAZING! I love anything pumpkin, but cheesecake is the best!
I thought it would be too much pumpkin but I thought this was great. I love the idea of the puppy pumpkin bites!
The pumpkin for puppies is reason enough for me! Thanks for this great idea!
I love pumpkin! cant wait for garden harvest 2024! #freezedriedfebruary
You guys make excellent videos and I LOVE how you showed all the ways to take advantage of a "volunteer" crop and waste nothing. We had the same thing happen in our compost pile last summer with Butternut Squash. WHAT a blessing! We got 20 beautiful squash, so we had enough to cure, can, blanch, and freeze, as well as share with family.
I love butternut squash!!
I love using freeze dried pumpkin for quick bread.
I absolutely loved all the ways you used the whole pumpkin. I have never grown pumpkins, but this year I will! Thanks to you both for the inspiration.
I did the same thing with my pumpkins. Now I have 2 quarts of pumpkin powder for upcoming pumpkin soup dinners.
Such a good way to use all the pumpkin.
I didn't have much luck growing pumpkins last year. Maybe I just need to scatter my seeds and forget about them. 😂 Those pumpkin seeds sound wonderful!
I absolutely LOVE how much you were able to impart in this video. I really like lots of great information. Thanks for joining!!
Thanks!
I just found your channel with this video popping into my feed. I'm a pumpkin-all-the-time kind of girl, and dislike food waste of any kind, so when you said ". . . turn them into pumpkin pleasures" - had to sub!
Welcome!
I haven’t done pumpkins.. but have done squash and oh my! I roast them, mash them, spread them on my trays and freeze dry them. Once they are done I blend it into a powder and then I have instant squash! We usually add a bit of butter and brown sugar or sometimes just salt and pepper. It’s the absolute best.. just spend some time prepping and then the rest of the year I don’t have to mess with cooking a big ole squash if I want some with dinner.
Great ideas for using pumpkins
The pumpkin for the pups and boiling the seeds are awesome! Definitely trying those this year with our pumpkins!
My daughter loves pumpkin pie. Doing this she can have pumpkin pie when ever she wants. Just gotta save for a freeze dryer.
It is a lot of fun. Just never go into debt for it.
I absolutely love the idea of using “all the rest” for dog treats or toppers!! I want to try the pumpkin seeds too ❤
I never thought of pumpkin in so many ways. Thank you. I love pumpkin cinnamon rolls
How creative with the pumpkins. Specially the puppy treats. Loved it.
Thanks so much! 😊
I'm still evaluating my circumstances, but i love freeze dryed fruit! Thanks for all these ideas and showing how to prep seed for saving and eating! ❤ No waste!
You are FANTASTIC! I ❤ your channel. Keep growing those accidental pumpkins and so happy to see you in Freezedryer February. This video gave so many ideas.
First thing I did with my new FD was empty my freezer of the cooked pumpkin from last year! Thanks for the reminder as I have a root cellar full from fall.
I LOVE learning how to not wadte ANYTHING!! Thank you!!!
I recently pressure canned pumpkin for the first time. Your video has given me some ideas for the next time I need to preserve pumpkin. I especially love the way you prepared the puree to add to dog food. Such a great way to give our pup extra nutrition.
Oh my goodness! I am so excited for all these recipes. I’m getting my first freeze dryer in a couple months and I’m planting pumpkins for the first time.
This was super inspiring. I recently discovered how great pumpkin is when a neighbor gave me one of their sugar pies. I saved the seed and am looking forward to growing them myself
Yes this is perfect
I was particularly impressed with the dog treats. =)
I made everything bagel sunflower seeds last year- it was a HUGE hit. And yes, boil them before you roast them.
I've never been a fan of pumpkin until I had some white chocolate chip pumpkin cookies. They were amazing and won me over.
Thank you for sharing the different ways of using/preserving pumpkins.
Oh I would like to try those!
My hubby and I are doing a "The Provident Prepper" video-watching marathon. We have learned so much from you. It's cool how we discuss ideas and try new prepping methods after watching your videos. We're new to prepping, so there is much to discuss and try! I'm not a pumpkin person, but my hubby is, so I see more pumpkin in my future. (I might actually like the cheesecake bites.) It looks like our dogs are going to get some pumpkin, too. Thanks for the endless tips.
Oh dear ... a marathon ... you really need to find something more interesting that us old folks! I'm glad that it stimulates ideas for you. The pumpkin cheesecake bites are awesome!
I came here for freeze dried February and found so many interesting videos I ended up subscribing. I’ve already watched your videos on extending the shelf life of brown rice and Aloo Palak, and there are several more I want to watch tonight. I’m glad I found your channel.
Great video. You are so creative with the scraps. What a great treat for the fur babies. I want to try your way of roasting the seeds. My favorite...everything pumpkin! Thanks 😊
I think that you could even substitute lots of other 9:50 different winter squash for all of these ideas. So exciting. 😊 thanks for the great video
Just beginning my freeze dying journey. Thank you for sharing this video
I saw pumpkin powder on a popular online store and thought what a great product to store.
We love pumpkins and winter squash. I can't wait to try some of these options.
i love seeing all the different freeze drying options.
Wow I’m amazed, so much information. I watch you both a lot. Thank you so much for sharing! No waste! My favorite of course is pumpkin pie😊
What great ideas! Now I need to grow more pumpkins in my garden this year so that I can make all of these yummy treats!
I also LOVE pumpkin! I had never considered using the pieces nd parts to create puppy pumpkin treats. For sure on this year's list of preserving. I love to add pumpkin to my oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries, pecans and orange zest. Thank you for this video and all your uses for 0 waste pumpkin preserving. Thank you to Angela and the sponsors for Freeze Dried February.
Thank you!! You made me rethink growing pumpkins this year aaaaand another way a freeze dryer can be an asset to my family. My favorite pumpkin anything is a pumpkin roll. Never made one, but it is my favorite!
Oh, this was definitely the video for me. I grew so many pumpkins this past season I was giving them away. I did preserve a lot of them, but I am so excited to try the cheesecake bites and the pumpkin pie bites. Thank you so much.💕
Thanks for this very informative video! I was in agreement with the idea that pumpkins were not worth growing until I saw all the great ways to use them! 😮
I tried growing pumpkins once, ended up with gourds. Ill try your over the fence technique. Seriously, thanks for all the great ideas! Well done.😊
I, too, am not a fan of pumpkin except for pumpkin cheesecake. Anything cheesecake, right? But I had decorative pumpkins that I gave to my chickens after Thanksgiving a year ago. We also ended up with beautiful volunteer vines and more pumpkins. Pumpkins for the chickens, goats, sheep and dogs. I will try freeze drying next year!
I’m definitely trying the cheese cake bites. This year I made a quadruple batch of roasted pumpkin soup and freeze dried them into 4 serving MREs. -Natalie
Good timing. I have several pumpkins needing to be preserved. In my FD right now is cooked pumpkin pie custard. No crust. I plan turning it into powder. To eat it, I’ll add water and eat.
Next I will make cookies. I will not bake them. But after FDing, I’ll powder and store. When I want cookies, I’ll add water and chocolate chips and bake.
I love your idea of making supplement to dog food. Perfect idea. Thank you!
No waste that's great. I have to start freeze drying more. I do love it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! That's a lot of pumpkin choice. Pumpkin seeds and pumpkin pie filling is as far as I have taken it.
Ideas for my next years pumpkins, hopefully.
That is a lot of pumpkin! Thanks for the tip on pumpkins seeds and the chocolate- pumpkin combination!
Love your channel ❤️ we are not that much of a pumpkin eating house so I will not be doing this. Store what you eat and eat what you store! Thanks for the video I know it will help so many😊
