\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Storage and Handling:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Store Pumpkins in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space for up to a month.\u00a0 <\/span>They will not keep as long at room temperature or if there are any visible blemishes.\u00a0 <\/span>Once you cut into a squash, you can store clean (de-seeded) pumpkin pieces in a plastic bag in your fridge for up to a week.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Culinary Uses:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pie Pumpkins can be cooked using the \u2018Simple Cooking Method for Winter Squash\u2019 below to make fresh pumpkin puree to use in pie, bread, cookie and cake recipes.\u00a0 <\/span>Once you scoop the flesh out of the skin after it\u2019s been cooked, puree the flesh in a food processor to make it smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pie Pumpkins can also be stuffed with savory stuffing and baked, or with sweet bread pudding and baked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use the flesh for soups and pasta dishes. <\/span><\/p>\n

The seeds are wonderful roasted with a little salt or tamari.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simple Cooking Method for Winter Squash:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Preheat oven 350 degrees<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Carefully slice your squash in half and scoop out the seeds.\u00a0 <\/span>You may save the seeds for roasting or discard them into your compost or trashcan.\u00a0 <\/span>Brush a little olive oil around the rim of the two squash halves and place cut side down in a baking dish.\u00a0 <\/span>Fill the baking dish with 1 to 2 inches of water, wine, or broth and bake in the oven until a fork will easily pierce through the skin, about 25-45 minutes, depending on the size of the squash.\u00a0 <\/span>Be sure to check and make sure the liquid doesn\u2019t totally cook out of the pan.\u00a0 <\/span>Add more if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n
