Fellow Bloggers I need your help! We have an abundance of Sugar Pumpkins....I am not complaining, but I am out of ideas. I have canned up 15 quarts of pumpkin which will make 30 pies. I still have a wagon full of pumpkins sitting in my dining room. I love pumpkin cream cheese muffins, pumpkin bread, pie, and just baking and eating pumpkin. Can you give me any other ideas for using pumpkin? I would love a pumpkin coffee cake recipe or anything else you can come up with. In fact lets make this a pumpkin recipe exchange.... Leave your recipe in the comments below!
Baked Pumpkin
Cut the top off a pumpkin and scrape out the seeds. Fill cavity with quartered apples, a bit of butter, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Replace top. Place filled pumpkin in baking dish and bake at 375 for an hour. Your house will smell great and there will be arm wrestling competitions for every last bit of it!

Pumpkin cookies! I thought they sounded odd at first but tried them last fall and they were a hit! I'll dig up the recipe for you!
And... what is the difference between sugar pumpkins and pie pumpkins? I've never noticed sugar pumpkins before.
Pumpkin cookies...YUM! I am waiting for that recipe!!!!!
I really don't think there is much of a difference. They are not the super huge pumpkins...not made for face cutting and such. I know some consider Halloween pumpkins to be pie pumpkins but they really are not. Our average 8 to 10 inches around with about an inch and a half of flesh inside. They are pretty sweet and kinda creamy. We get our seeds from Seeds of Change at http://www.seedsofchange.com/garden_center/product_details.aspx?item_no=PS15440
this is the link to exactly what we get. It tells you way more about them.....me I'll just tell you they are GOOD!
wow, all that sounds SO delish!! I don't have any recipes for ideas for you...but I did think I'd suggest; Just can it & send me your extra...hehehe!!

Oh Yes and may I suggest --SOUP---
I made a squash soup out of Morris's hubbards using a butternut recipe from Betty Crocker and it was awesome!!!!
Most all winter squash are pretty much the same, just a bit different flavors. So I would guess that you could substitute pumpkin in place of any of them. Pumpkin may be enough different texture that you couldn't make sweet potato fries; but then an again I haven't tried!
Happy recipe hunting!
