While pumpkins keep for months (when they are uncut), they can be used many seasonal recipes that your family will love. 

 

You can for example cut it in half, de-seed it, and roast it in the oven for about 45 minutes to one hour. Remove the skin and mash it: this will make for the most delicious homemade pumpkin puree, which can then be used in pies, smoothies or brownies.
