A low calorie and high vitamin treat using Fresh Pumpkin

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 5 pound Fresh Pumpkin
• ▢ 1 pinch cinnamon
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Apple Juice Concentrate Frozen

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  
• Peel pumpkin the same way you would peel melons like honeydew. Cut off top and bottom so that pumpkin "stands" steady on your surface. To keep pumpkin from moving, a wet towel underneath is helpful. Then, going from top to bottom with a sharp knife, filet the skin off. Next, cut pumpkin into long wedges. Remove pulp and seeds.
  
• Season your wedges with cinnamon and apple juice concentrate.
  
• On a large nonstick baking sheet, bake for 25 minutes or until browned.
  
• Serve hot.
  

Spa Index Kitchen Notes

Look for 100% apple juice concentrate (no sugar added) in the frozen food section of your market.
