Kitchen Hack: Use a Cookie Cutter to Remove Pumpkin Pulp

Removing seeds and pulp from a pumpkin or squash can be a mess! Next time, try using a round, metal cookie cutter to easily scrape the seeds and pulp out of a pumpkin or squash. The sharp edges of a cookie cutter help cut through the pulp much easier than a spoon.

We hope you have a Happy Halloween and a cleaner pumpkin carving experience this year!
