I have heard that aged pumpkins make the best pumpkin pie. Does anyone know of this and how one would age a pumpkin?
Sugar pumpkins get top honors for flavor for homemade pumpkin puree - this blog states, "Can you make pumpkin purée from a big (non-sugar) pumpkin? Sure. The purée won’t be as flavorful, that’s all.". We hope you find the source of your "aged pumpkin" recommendation and let us in on the secret. All we can find is reference to the the anti-aging properties of pumpkin (beta and alpha carotenes?)! Happy Baking! Irene@KAF
