Halloween is over and the 'carving' pumpkins are on sale at silly giveaway prices - so let's grab one and see if they can be used for more than just carving...

Carving pumpkins are the only pumpkins I’ve ever used since I can usually get some free around this time of year. 😂 I do not like the traditional pumpkin pie because I do not like some of those spices. However my paternal grandmother would make pumpkin pies with lemon flavoring & I absolutely loved them! Lemon compliments pumpkin very well. She would also do butternut & cushaw pies the same way. I once asked for her recipe & she said that she just “threw them together”. But the next time I visited her she handed me a hand written recipe because the next time she made one of the pies she had measured things just so she could give me a recipe. Today is her sons birthday-my father. He passed over 8 years ago now. She passed in 1993. Ps. I always scrub the outside of the pumpkins well before cutting them up to bake to make sure I don’t get any unwanted ingredients in my pumpkin purée. lol. I’ve read the juice can be used for soup but I’ve never tried it. I did try roasting the seeds thou.

I loved pumpkin seeds as a kid but I'm not much of a fan of seeds anymore. :( I just made my first pie today and it's baking right now in the oven! Lemon flavoring in pumpkin pie sounds delicious, I've only ever had traditional pumpkin pie (& I love cinnamon). Over the weekend I'll probably make an apple/berry pie so that'll be exciting.

Butternut squash seeds are better roasted than pumpkin seeds in my opinion. Hope you like the lemon pumpkin pie.

When I was a kid we had left a pumpkin on the porch for almost a year and it never rotted or dried out, so out of curiosity we cut it open and it seemed perfectly fine. So my mom sliced the "meat" up and baked it into a lasagne and it was perfectly fine. It tasted like fresh squash.
@AtomicShrimp3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, if they are intact and the conditions are right, they can stand for a very long time. I dimly recall there being a named variety of squash that was called '2 year squash' or something like that and had been bred for very long storage life.

I was given a pumpkin just before lockdown. My friend said it was from their harvest the previous Autumn, so already 6 months old. I put it in the spare bedroom because it was too big for the kitchen counter, then I became very ill. I had COVID very seriously, was hospitalised and too ill to cook for myself, or even pick up the huge thing. After 2 years, I’d recovered enough to wonder if it was OK, so hacked it up and cut it into chunks. Roasted it in the oven for an hour with some oil and salt, then had a huge quantity of roasted pumpkin. Sweet and delicious, I used it for lots of things, and then froze the pieces in a large bag. I finally finished the bag of three and a half year old pumpkin, about 6 months ago! Great value, a carving pumpkin! I miss it now 😂😂😂

Nice! Btw you could've fit the whole pumpkin into the rectangular tray by cutting the pumpkin in 2 halves & roasting them like that. I've done that with my pumpkins: cut each pumpkin into 2 halves & put them on a baking tray, baked on 375 degrees for about 1 hour or until it's fork tender, then scoop out the cooked flesh, sprinkle on some cinnamon powder & brown sugar. A nice fall treat or Christmas treat, yum! ;)

Soup is the best way to go with a jack. Bake them first with salt sprinkled on them. Puree and strain, then add your creams and stock and voila! Be warned, you will need to be a skilled cook and know your flavors WELL, otherwise you end up making a salty soup instead of a flavorful soup. Thats just how jacks are... pie pumpkins are more forgiving. You need less salt for those. For the best soup, use a kabocha and only a kabocha. It is the sweetest variety if pumpkin and needs no addatives, period. The skin is edible on kabochas.

Well done that man for being thrifty with a veg/fruit? That would otherwise just end up in its millions on a landfill. I suppose if you were making soup you could salt the roasted pumpkin overnight to drive off the water. And then use the juice as the base of a stock. I cant help thinking a bit of vanilla would work well in the mix as well. You had 75% ingredients for an egg custard already lol
@AtomicShrimp6 жыл бұрын
Vanilla would definitely work - it's a flavour that you get with the pie if (as commonly done) you have a scoop of ice cream with it, so it definitely combines well. Pumpkin pie is essentially very similar to egg custard tart (so, lots of nutmeg!)

This was baked at 180c for about 3 hours, covered with foil, then another hour without - this was a very large, thick pumpkin and it seemed to take a long time to cook - I was hoping to bake off some of the moisture content, but really, it pretty much boiled in its own juices. You may find that other pumpkins of different variety or size don't take as long - it's done as soon as it falls apart easily.
