 2 teaspoons baking soda

 1 tablespoon cinnamon

 1 teaspoon nutmeg

Cooking with fresh pumpkin:

 

Cut the pumpkin in slices, clean out the seeds, and place in a shallow baking pan with about an inch of water.  Cover with foil and bake in moderate oven (350°F), until soft.  Remove peel while warm and puree with a small amount of the cooking water. Add water as necessary.

 

Extra pumpkin puree may be frozen in bags for future use.
