| Cinderella Pumpkin |
One of the vegetables Cindy planted this summer was a Cinderella Pumpkin, supposed to be one of the best pumpkins for making pies. She thought that meant the pumpkins it produced would be small, like most pie pumpkins are. Instead, the plant only produced one pumpkin, but it was much bigger than expected.
Cindy picked it several weeks ago and it's been sitting in the garage maturing since then. But it couldn't stay there forever, so she cut it up the other day.
The final tally was 5.5 pounds of pureed pumpkin for pies and pumpkin soup, and 1 pound of roasted pumpkin. That's a whole lotta pumpkin.
There's also some pumpkin juice that will go into the soup. I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter, so I'll have to see what pumpkin juice tastes like, although I think my potion of choice would probably be Butterbeer.
We may have to do some experimenting with this.
