My Halloween pumpkin bit the dust days ago. In fact, here is a hairy and scary video of it. Pumpkins just don't last in the Southwest Florida heat and humidity. Halloween may be wrapping up but pumpkins are still in season. Wether you scoop the guts out of the gourd or buy the puree in a can, here are five of the best pumpkin recipes for Fall in Florida and for TikTok Tuesday.
Some health officials call pumpkin a superfood because they are low fat and packed with nutrients. They have things like iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and foliate which are all said to be great for boosting immunity. Pumpkins are also full of beta carotene which is good for eye health as well as immunity. Because these gourds have lots of fiber, they also help to keep you feeling full a little longer than some other foods. Pumpkins have a natural sweetness which is a benefit for those trying to avoid added sugar to their diet.

Make Your Own Puree
Pumpkin puree is essential to these recipes. Sure you can buy it in a can but making it yourself doesn't take that much effort. Then you don't have to deal with any preservatives.
