So, Matt, are you saying we should hold off posting pumpkin stuff here, and wait until next week?
Old Bay, pumpkins were once a staple, and there are, literally, hundreds of uses for them. And don't forget, too, that pumpkin can substitute for any other winter squash in most recipes.
What's in the can? Good question. Horticulturally speaking, "pumpkins" are found in all four of the commonly grown squash species. Hubbard and cushaw are often used for canning, because of their size. Libby's used to actually say "hubbard" on the ingredients list. But they've gone back to just saying "pumpkin."
Nor are all pumpkins orange. Right now, for instance, I'm waiting for seed for a commonly used small, very sweet, white pumpkin from South Africa.
