Edible parts
Fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Orangita' F1 pumpkin harvest. Turn the squash flesh into soup. Cut the fruit using a suitable knife on a stable board, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Sauté an onion in a pot with a little oil, then add the squash pieces. Pour in enough broth to just cover the vegetables and let simmer until the flesh is tender. Blend while gradually adding the liquid to adjust the thickness. A small, diced apple can be added to complement the sweet-fleshed squash. When serving, add a spoonful of plain yogurt, pepper, and some fresh herbs according to your taste. The size of the pieces influences cooking time more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before removing the pot from the heat, especially if the harvest includes fruits of different sizes. Moist flesh sometimes requires a little more evaporation; denser flesh may require more liquid.
