Pumpkin Soap - take 2

New Year's Resolution # 2: I promise to use better lighting.

Above is a trial-size of 12% pumpkin soap.

Previously, I've tried adding 6% pureed pumpkin at trace.  The colour was a very light yellow compared to my regular unscented bars.  I was confused as to why the colour of the 12% was not darkening like I expected.  Then I read Lovin Soap's Hot Process Pumpkin Soap blog post.  By the way, LUV this blog.  Very well done.

Next soap trial will be replacing water with the pumpkin, then making Cold Processed soap as usual.  This is the same way I make my cow milk soap.  It's a little more tricky, but worth the effort.
