Top8 Easy Recipes to Prepare Pumpkin—Differently
Nothing says fall like decorating pumpkins. October is the perfect time to discover the 1,001 ways to make use of this surprising fruit. Here are 8 original ways to prepare fall’s iconic food a little differently.
Harvested in October and November, pumpkin can keep for months. To ensure freshness and flavour, pick a pumpkin that’s heavy, firm and brightly coloured. Remember that smaller pumpkins are often tastier. The weight of a pumpkin in pounds is a good indication of its flesh in cups. For instance, a 5-lb pumpkin can produce about 5 cups of edible flesh.
Tip: Want to keep your pumpkin from ending up in the trash November 1st? Instead of carving your pumpkin, add decorations, drawings and accessories to it. A whole pumpkin will stay fresher for longer. Once Halloween is over, use the flesh and seeds of the fruit in recipes for a flavourful fall touch.
