halloween pumpkins

My mom has been asking me what to do with pumpkins. I like to keep them out for decoration until Halloween and then start cooking with them. Pumpkin bread and pumpkin soup are my favorites.

A journal of my home vegetable garden. Skippy thinks it's his garden, but I've been gardening here for 20 years. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6). I have a big community garden plot and a small plot in my yard. I try to grow all of my family's vegetables using sustainable organic methods.

Don't forget pumpkin ravioli and pumpkin gnocchi! Both are fantastic with a browned butter sage sauce.

Have not tried pumpkin soup but I want to. Pumpkin pie gets most of our pumpkin and pumpkin bread when I have too much. Must try the soup though...

I love pumpkin; I make lots pumpkin muffins (spiced, mixed with apples, chocolate pumpkin spice, etc), custards (welll, sort of custard. it's pumpkin and eggs and sugar and spices, but no dairy), and i love to cube a few quarts' worth, freeze it on trays, then store in big canning jars to add to quick soups, stirfries, pilafs, etc.
