Prepare your Pumpkin: Cut the neck part of the pumpkin into 1 inch slices and then cut the rind from the slices. Cut the rounded bottom half of the pumpkin into two pieces lengthwise and scoop out the seeds; cut the rind off and chop the flesh into 1 inch chunks. Put the pumpkin flesh into a pan with a small amount of water and cook until soft. Mash, and place in a colander to drain off some of the liquid.
