Freezing Miniature Pumpkins

RE: Freezing Miniature Pumpkins Post By Lora (Guest Post) (11/03/2008) I think freezing would retain too much moisture and damage the "tissue" of the pumpkin. BUT, has anyone tried to dry them on low heat or some other way, maybe like gourds?

After Thanksgiving spray paint them white, stack them up and decorate to look like snowmen!

You can't freeze them either. We used to grow them in the garden and I just kept them in a basket as a decoration for as long as they'd last. They do last quite a while but eventually will start getting soft and even moldy and then it's time to pitch. I used to keep gords and the mini pumpkins long after the Fall so just enjoy them for as long as you can.

If you see that they are in good condition, you can cut them open, remove the seeds and boil them until they are soft like squash and make pumpin pies and bread. Why don't you make some pumpkin bread and share it with family, friends and neighbors. Report Spam or Abuse
