Pumpkin uses?

With Halloween soon the popularity of the pumpkin is easy to see.  It is a squash fruit that is used as decorations and in a variety of different foods.   The pumpkin comes in all shapes and sizes, ranging from the very small up to the Pumpkins that have to be carried by machinery and lifts.  It is commonly a bright orange color, but also comes in white, green, brown, and black as well.

Pumpkins are very popular in the Fall and are traditionally used to carve Jack-o'-lanterns for use as part of Halloween celebrations.  When making food it can be used to make bread, cake, pie, soup, and mashed into other recipes.  The seeds can be cooked and fried and eaten as snacks.  Pumpkin carving contest are often held as well as growing the largest pumpkin around.  The biggest Pumpkin ever recorded was over 1,400 lbs.  The Pumpkin is a cultural symbol of the United States Fall celebrations.  Send us your pictures of how you use Pumpkins or of a creative Jack-o'-lantern and we wil l include it in our gallery.  How do you use Pumpkins?
