I might have to try those bars next, as I still have three pumpkins lying around :) Sorry your little ones are sick :( I did exactly the same thing yesterday, but made pumpkin bread instead!

I cut mine in half, put them in the crock before bed, put the timer on low for 10 hours and when I got up I tossed them in the fridge (not because it needed to be refrigerated, just because I didn't have time to do anything with it). When I got home I scooped the insides out with a spoon and mixed them in a bowl with the hand mixer. Kept what I was going to use out and put the rest in air tight freezer bags for later. My only disappointment was that I would think with all this work it would be more cost effective, but it really wasn't. I easily spent $7 on 2 pumpkins (.98 per pound) and only got about 36 oz (3 cans worth); with canned pumpkin for $1.19 when its not on sale, its still the more cost (and time) effective way to go.
