I had promised to my regular readers to share about the inside of this pumpkin.

| ten days after harvest |
Several days after the pumpkins have picked, the skins color were turning brown-yellow.
I can't wait to taste them!
But I didn't have much time to work in my kitchen, to make special dishes from this pumpkin.
On Friday I had a chance to cook it.
When I was splitting the fruit, I found the yellow flesh inside.
I think it's not too thick, only about 2.5 - 3 cm.
Then I removed the seeds, and I chopped it in to small pieces.
Once more, I haven't had much time to make any dishes from this pumpkin.
So... a simple way to taste the original taste is steaming it in a saucepan of boiling water or stewing it.
There's no additional ingredient, so... this is a real and original taste.
I cooked the chopped flesh for about 30 minutes.

The steamed pumpkins flesh was ready to be tasted.
I was very curious...
I put one piece... and tasted...
Hmmm.... very very sweet...
The flesh was so soft and smooth.
This pumpkin have fairy dry flesh, not juicy.
The local pumpkin have juicy flesh if its have steamed.
It's look like a sweet potato, but much sweeter and softer.
Delicious...

ReplyDeleteYes CJ, this is a new variety for me. I bought it caused by its unusual skin shape.
