Long Island Cheese Pumpkin
Long Island Cheese Pumpkin is the legendary pre-canned-pumpkin era culinary variety — the flat, deeply ribbed, buff-colored fruits that resemble a wheel of cheese were the pumpkin of choice for pies, soups, and custards before modern varieties existed, and their rich, sweet, dense flesh still delivers the finest homemade pumpkin flavor available. A true piece of American culinary heritage that deserves far more recognition than the carving pumpkins that displaced it in the marketplace.
