They basically grow the large jack-o-lanterns for Halloween decorating and

sometimes they just don't cook up. Last year I had a good one. Roasted the

seeds and baked the pumpkin with some butter, brown sugar, cardamom and cinnamon

and it was hardly stringy at all.

Re: cooking pumpkins, failed at punkin pie

experience ...

 

 

I have never tried from the big ones used for carving. My mother tried

a few times and they were always stringy and not good so I have never

tried. Was going to actually do something this year based on reading

here but my chuncks of pumpkin were very much like a spaghetti squash,

you could flake it into strings (wanted pie). Could be an age thing?

Did not cook any of it - time was too limited for experiementing that

day. Seeds were roasted and are wonderful.

Once, in the early years of their marriage, my father brought home a pumpkin and

directed my mother to make a pumpkin pie. He then left to run some errands. She

and her visiting cousin buried the pumpkin in the backyard and made a pie from

canned pumpkin. At dinner that night, he raved about how much better the fresh

pie was than from a can. Conspiracy smiles went around the table. She never told

him.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with

ketchup.
