A Pumpkin pick'n day.
The seed was from www.superseeds.com
a variety called: Spookie, a smaller size pumpkin with very good yields per vine.
Took a few pumpkins into the kitchen to turn them into:
 |
| making pumpkin pulp |
Pumpkin seeds and pulp.
Roasted Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
 |
| Cajun spiced Pepitas |
 |
| Pumpkin Cake with hazelnuts |
Pickled pumpkin rind. The recipe did not seem to sound as good as the name,
so I gave all the rind to the chickens.
The cooked pulp became
a bowl full of delicious squash.
 |
| Pumpkin squash with added butter & maple syrup |
 |
| Didn't know these Spookies could taste soo good! |
I've never grown pumpkins (not enough space), but I love to use them, and you sure have shown a bunch of ways in addition to pumpkin pie and Halloween. Will have to do some Cajun spiced pumpkin seeds soon.
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteYes, I never thought about the ol' pumpkin before, unless it was Halloween.
Now I think of the pumpkin as a orange round squash:)
