| A Huge Pumpkin! |
 |
| Grown outside a family's fence. |
I recently was out on a run and saw these huge pumpkins. Luckily I had my iphone with me and snapped a few pictures. It got me to thinking about what uses we could use for a pumpkin. Of course, you could eat it, although one this big might not be the best option. So, I did a little research and came up with 5 interesting ways to use pumpkin.
1. In Early Colonial Times, the pumpkin was used as a crust for pies, not for the filling. I wonder if we could try that. Anyone have a recipe for that?
2. Pumpkins have been recommended as a freckle remover. Although, I haven't tried it.
3. Native Americans used pumpkins as material for mats. They dried it and flattened it out.
4. You can deep fry pumpkin flowers, they are edible.
5. Pumpkins halves were used in the colonial period as a guide for haircuts. (I think I've seen some of those cuts recently)
