Edible parts
Fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Scarface' F1 pumpkin harvest. Turn the squash flesh into soup. Cut the fruit using a suitable knife on a stable cutting 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, adding the liquid gradually to adjust the consistency. A small diced apple can be added to complement sweet-fleshed squashes. When serving, add a spoonful of plain yogurt, pepper, and some fresh herbs to taste. The size of the pieces affects cooking time more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before removing the dish from the heat, especially if your harvest includes fruits of different sizes. Moist flesh sometimes requires a bit more evaporation, while denser flesh may need more liquid.
