What you want to buy are sugar pumpkins. Also called pie pumpkins, these are smaller and sweeter than carving pumpkins. (Pro tip: the smaller a fruit or veggie is for its size, the sweeter and more tender it tends to be!) While carving pumpkins have thick skins, tough flesh, and big cavities (all the better for lasting multiple nights after being carved), pie pumpkins have smaller cavities with lots of tender flesh and skins thin enough you can even eat it, after cooking.
These are must-haves for making something like Pumpkin & Pesto Crostini or Pumpkin Chili, where you use chunks that have been cooked until sweet and tender, just like other winter squash. But you can also use whole pumpkins to make fresh pumpkin puree, as shown in our Pumpkin-Gorgonzola Ravioli. It's tastier than the canned stuff, and worth it for serving guests at fall dinner parties or on holidays like Thanksgiving.
Plus, you can save some money by growing your own pumpkins (both the eating and carving kind), which is fun, as well!
This recipe is a two-fer. First: it's a quick primer on making your own puree from fresh sugar pumpkins (which you can then use in most of the recipes on this list). Second, it's an easy dinner, that's incredibly delicious. What are you waiting for?
Pureed pumpkin gives these fall treats a light, chewy, airy quality that makes them delectable! Candied ginger on the glaze gives them a bite that makes them irresistible.
We like to keep a batch of these easy to make muffins on hand in the fall for whoever happens to be stopping over — whether it's school friends visiting the kids, a neighbor stopping by to chat, or a relative dropping in. There's just nothing more welcoming than a sweet treat to go with a cup of coffee.
When you think of eating pumpkin of course, one food comes first. This is your basic, never-fail recipe, but with one seriously smart addition: an optional brulée (burnt sugar) on the top of the pie, which adds oodles of flavor.
Treat brunch (or dessert, or any time) guests to this absolutely stunning brioche baked treat. It's covered in spiced sugar, coffee butter, and a pumpkin spice glaze that'll have folks licking the pan.
If your feeling is that standard pumpkin pie recipes could use just a little more oomph, give this spicy recipe a whirl! With three different kinds of ginger—plus a gingersnap cookie crust—this one is sure to blow their socks off!
One of the first things we make when winter squash is in season is this classic soup. It calls for Butternut, but pumpkin works just as well. Don't skip on the popcorn for croutons. It's a genius step!
With a pecan cookie crust, a fluffy, light custard filling, and all the PSL-spiced flavor you can handle, you'll definitely want to leave some room for an extra slice of this delicious pumpkin cheesecake.
Aren't these the cutest? Canned pumpkin gives them an extra creamy flavor, and you can make the ridges of the "pumpkin" with a fork and the stem with a little cornichon.
This giant trifle is just an enormous share-worthy sweet fall dessert piled high with loads of whipped cream and shaved chocolate. I mean, if you like that sort of thing, it's pretty good.
