Although I’ve made pumpkin bread many times before, this was by far the most interesting of them all. Instead of using store-bought pumpkin Purée, we decided to try and make our own from raw pumpkins and I quickly realized how little I actually knew about the work that goes into making something seemingly so simple. Despite the simplistic nature of cooking pumpkin bread, the process of slicing, preparing, roasting, and blending pumpkins just to get one of the ingredients to the overall dish was both fun and challenging.
