Now the stores near me don't sell the bags, they've switched to the new Zip Loc vacuum bags. I bought a box of them, I haven't yet tried my Reynolds battery operated pump on them yet. When I bought the Reynold's, I thought I could remove food from the bag and then reseal it...it doesn't work. Once they were REsealed, the air slowly seeped back into the bag.<br /><br />Better yet, my neighbor has the vacuum sealer and says I can borrow it any time ;-) I haven't tried it yet.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-50516082684301996822009-08-06T10:39:02.132-07:002009-08-06T10:39:02.132-07:00Thanks for the tutorial there Granny!

I thought it was like a watermelon where if you get that close to the rine, it is icky! lol <br /><br />I bought one of those vacuum thingies from Reynolds Wrap or something like that. It wasn't near the price of those big contraptions and with the bags, it seals really great. I think the vacuum thingie was around $9 or $10 and the bags run around $4 or $5. Kinda pricey for bags, but I figured it was easier to pay out a little at a time, then to buy the whole big thing at once with the high possibility that I wouldnt use it again LOL<br /><br />Jen (aka JenGC.

I will have some for fall though, as that one vine probably has another 4-5 small green pumpkins developing on it. I figure it will give me about 9-10 pumpkins in all!<br /><br />********<br /><br />Fanfortony, you betcha I will! Uh...are you a good pumpkin scraper?<br /><br />********<br /><br />Erin, I wish. No, it's an old (1985) Dazy Micro-Seal that I found stored in the garage with two unopened boxes of the plastic rolls. When the bag material is used up I'll not be able to find replacements, then I'll be forced to spend a fortune on the vacuum sealer that I really want. <br /><br />********<br /><br />Kelly, you're welcome. Actually pumpkin is supposed to be baked, but Dan microwaved his with good results, so I tried it. I'll definitely go that rout with the others.<br /><br />********<br />Daphne, next year I'll just grow the butternut squash, which is also good for "pumpkin" pies as well as for baking for dinner. As fun as it was to grow the pumpkin, it really took up a lot of room as well as the powdery mildew problem.<br /><br />********<br /><br />Stefaneener, I roast pumpkins in the winter months, but when it's 99 degrees outside, a microwave is perfectly fine with me! It was bad enough having the oven on for 1-1/2 hours to bake the pie and roast the seeds.<br /><br />I want to try Honey Bear acorn squash next year.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-2046808618827607062009-08-06T08:24:02.355-07:002009-08-06T08:24:02.355-07:00I like my pumpkin roasted, actually, but I like th...I like my pumpkin roasted, actually, but I like the pictures of your pie.<br /><br />Got my first Delicata last night.
