After removing seeds and baking in oven for about 1 hour (and cooling period), take each half and slice them like you would a cantaloupe….more manageable pieces. Now you can take each SMALLER slice and cut the pulp right down to the rind….much, much easier than trying to scrape each larger half. After slicing each smaller section, cut up into 1”- 2” pieces and toss into your blender/food processor to purée. Once the purée is ready, measure out two (2) cups into a FREEZER ZIP LOCK BAG. Then toss them in your freezer. This is about the right quantity for pies, breads, muffins, etc…
