Description:

Also known as the ” Pumpkin Patch Pumpkin,” this variety of winter Squash is bright orange and substantially smaller than the carving pumpkins that stare at us with candlelit smiles on Halloween night. The flesh of the Pie Pan Pumpkin is sweet and nutty, and never as bland as the flesh of the larger Pumpkin varieties. It can be seasoned with nutmeg or cinnamon and baked in a traditional and savory Pumpkin Pie, but that’ s just a start. Pie pan Pumpkins can be roasted, pureed and used in soups, cut into chunks and stewed, and even turned into a filling for ravioli-style pasta. Save the seeds for roasting. They make a perfect garnish for your favorite holiday fare.
