Pumpkins are useful all year long. Save the big ones to make jack-o-lanterns. The rest you can cut into quarters (save the seeds for roasting!), bake until the flesh turns golden. Then scrape the flesh out of the skin. Toss the flesh into a food processor with a tiny bit of water and puree. Divide puree into two-cup batches and freeze. You'll find many recipes that call for just this measurement for muffins and breads. The puree can also be used for soups and pies.
