I saw pumpkins a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks! I've been looking all over and can't find them.

Jumbo occasionally has the large orange pupkins, usually around thanksgiving, halloween and christmas.

Thanks! I've been looking all over and can't find them.

REAL PUMPKINS:

Go to "La Achicoria Caprichosa" on Juramento 2525 (local 60 & 61 inside the Mercado de Belgrano--Juramento & Ciudad de La Paz about a block off Cabildo).
I ordered Halloween pumpkins for my boys from them and they brought me beauties! As of last Saturday 16/11 they still had 4 or 5 big ones left.

Thanks for the tip. That's only a few blocks from me, so I'll check it out.

A few weeks ago I saw pumpkins with a Halloween label. My guess is that somebody is growing them just for Halloween - smart business mind. I usually make pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, I use squash and mix my own spices. I like to microwave the squash to avoid an excess of humidity.

if u r going to use the orange pumpkin, don't use the large ones. they r not too good for pie, imo. the small orange ones r much sweeter and less watery. in fact the butternut squash is a perfect replacement. if too watery just drain for a while, as others have posted. you can also use coconut milk as a dairy replacement. maybe some maple syrup as a sweetener, if u can find it. sort of off the pumpkin thread, i am in need of some gelatin for a pumpkin cheesecake. any suggestions?

Oh, and btw, don't forget to save the seeds and roast those too. That's all part of the fun!

I have two extra large cans of Pumpkin pie filling brought from the US, and a small thing of Pumpkin pie spice, maybe I should auction them off
