What to do with Pumpkins? I have grown a few this year, and well, other than making a jackolantern, I have no idea what to do with them.

Perhaps ingredient of the Month (since it is October)?

Jafo, you looking for immediate uses? Or ways to put them by?

Is there something to do with pumpkins besides pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread? Probably most people that cook those two recipes from 'scratch' buy a can of pumpkin at the store. I'd be interested in knowing how that pumpkin got in the can in the first place i.e. what is in the can of canned pumpkin?

Jeff - Pumpkins will be the ingredient of the week next week. My chestnut trees are shedding their fruit this week so the plan is to feature chestnuts and tomorrow I'll post the chestnut ingredient of the week.

Did you grow any real large pumpkins? A while back I happened to grow a 2 foot diameter pumpkin without really trying. Must have been in the seed.

Nothing immediate.. Most are not very big, maybe basketball size to double that.
