Sugar Pie Pumpkin Recipes

Sugar Pie Pumpkin

 



 

We are slowing getting pumpkins from the garden.  Last October at Cowboy Trail Ranch, Marilyn and Dwayne had a Harvest Open House potluck.  Someone made a yummy spread and it was just baked pumpkin with agave nectar.

 

 

The pumpkin was baked whole at 350 degrees for about an hour or until a knife could pierce its' skin.  Remove from oven and let cool. Then cut the pumpkin open, scoop out seeds.  Discard seeds or maybe you could try roasting them. Scoop out remaining flesh and add agave nectar to taste.  Use as a spread on crackers.  Delicious.

Acorn Squash in July

Our first year we grew acorn squash, we planted it in July and was lucky to harvest them about the end of September.

Our second year, we planted acorn squash in late spring but the weeds overcame the plants.  Weeds were terrible last year.

Our third year, in the new location of the garden, seeds were planted  about late April and whoohoo!  Acorn squash in July.

How exciting! 

Can't wait to try these . . .  here's a link to some yummy recipes.
