blender or food processor, puree in batches.
In clean saucepan, combine pumpkin puree with beer; bring to boil
over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer for 5

covered, for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile in skillet over medium heat, cook pumpkin seeds, shaking
pan often, for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and toasted.
