The listing, Big White Pumpkin Seeds 20*No Chemicals Used has ended.
20 big White Pumpkin seeds from a friend's field. He does not know who planted them or the name. It is sort of a community garden. What a surprise when we found these!
The Pumpkin has white skin and light orange flesh, with a flattened top and bottom. Similar to Patypan squash with less fluted edges, and huge. No chemicals or pesticides are used.
The taste is not as strong as regular orange Pumpkin, but still good in pie, custard, and smoothies with sugar or honey, lots of Cinnamon, and Pumpkin pie spices.
I made Pumpkin Custard (no crust Pumpkin pie):
First cut Pumpkin into large chunks, scoop out seeds and pulp (separate and dry seeds), then bake on a large cookie sheet with a little water, put a separate pan of water in the lower rack of the oven at 350 degrees. Remove skin, cut into chunks and puree the flesh with a little water.
2 c. pureed Pumpkin
4 eggs
1 t. Vanilla
2 t. Cinnamon and Nutmeg to taste optional
1 t. Pumpkin pie spice
Sugar or honey to taste
Pour into a greased pie pan (I used a glass pie pan). Re fill water in separate pan in lower oven rack.
Bake 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes until a knife comes out almost dry. Let cool.
If you want a pie crust, here's my easy recipe:
Flaky Pie Crust
1 1/2 C flour
3/4 C Crisco or store brand shortening
1/4 teas. salt
3 Tbs. Ice Cold Water (important that it's very cold)
1 Tbs. white Vinegar
Cut shortening into flour, add salt, vinegar and cold water, mix well. Roll out as thin as you can on a lightly floured surface. Put in pie pan, trim edges, Make holes with a fork. Bake 350 degrees until firm. Add filling and bake.
Use the rest of the pumpkin in smoothies or freeze it.
