Description
New England Sugar Pie Pumpkin - The Classic Pie Pumpkin
The bright orange, slightly ribbed fruit will be about 4-5 lbs and averages 6-8" in diameter with sweet yellow flesh.
For generations, this classic pumpkin has graced the fields and tables of farmers in New England. It has earned this place by being easy to grow and an enthusiastic producer of fruit that has thick, fine-grained, exceedingly sweet flesh.
History
Prized since the 1860's.
Uses
The richness of the flavor and the extraordinary sweetness of the yellow flesh can really stand up to baking, making this the ultimate pumpkin for pies or breads.
Growing Tip
Grow a few plants to have plenty of pumpkins, since the pumpkins are smaller. This will give you plenty of pumpkin for pie fillings for the holiday season.
