We just cooked our last pumpkin we had for winter storage today. Chelsea made a pumpkin sheet cake with cream cheese frosting. Wow...was it ever good. No canned pumpkin can hold a candle to the fresh taste of fresh baked pumpkin.
This past year's garden had its share of trouble in the squash and pumpkin department. One of my heirloom squash varieties didn't even grow fruit and many of the vines were spindly. I believe this was true because of the massive amounts of rains we had early in the summer.
It's seed time right now though. Time to focus on the promise of the next harvest to come. Pumpkin is definitely on the list for next year. I love baking fresh pumpkin through out the winter when so many other veggies and fruits come out of the freezer or canning jar. Thank God for His handiwork that gives us such good nutritious fresh food through out the bleak winter months.
Now back to eating......gotta go get another piece!
