Show Noritas Nook November favorite American tradition Norita Lancaster 462-283- 3 MT. PLEASANT Shortly before Halloween, pumpkins appear on the scene, and everyone thinks more of carving faces in them thaneating them, but immediately after Halloween, our thoughts turn to food and feasting and air taste buds begin to crave the flavor of pumpkin pie and all the festive foods that we enjoy during our Autumn and Winter holidays. You might say that November is the Pumpkin Month. After seeing Thelma Mrs. Rass) Jorgensen's pumpkin (see picture), 1 know there will be lots of pumpkin pies and other delicious pumpkin dishes in the Jorgensen home. Thelma received this gargantuan carved pumpkin for her birthday (October 30) from some of her grandchildren. Before cleaning and carving, the pumpkin weighed 94 pounds. They removed about 10 pounds of seeds (some the size of the upper part of one's thumb.) Believe it or not, after carving, this pumpkin still weighed a very heavy 84 pounds and measured 64 inches around. Texans claim they can grow things larger than anyone else. Well, eat your heart out Texas, Utah can too! Although Thelma is an outstanding cook, and we have enjoyed her recipes in the past, it is not the person, but the pumpkin that we are featuring today, along with special pumpkin recipes to delight Thelmas family and yours too, during November and the holiday season. Although pumpkins are probably more native to Central America, they were also grown here in North America. It was the North American Indians who taught the Pilgrims how to grow, cook and dry this very delectible food. The Indians boiled and baked pumpkin, made it into soup, and even dried and ground it into meal or flour (similar to cornmeal) to use in making breads and puddings. They also cut them into rings and hung them to dry to help sustain them through the winter. The pumpkin is a nutritious gourdlike fruit of the cucurbitae family which includes cucumbers, melons and squash, and is high in vitamin A, and a good source of phosphorus, calcium and iron, and low in calories. No one knows for sure when the first pumpkin pie was baked and served, but we lave been enjoying them for over 300 years. Since most everyone has their own favorite pumpkin pie recipe, I thought you might like to try some of these other indescribably good pumpkin treats this month too.
