Small Sugar

Small Sugar pumpkinsfrom our plot

The proper pie pumpkin. Small, sweet, dense-fleshed, and bred for eating rather than carving. A single pumpkin is enough for a pie, and the compact plant size means you can actually grow it in a normal garden.

Pumpkin pie

Roast the flesh, puree, mix with eggs, cream, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, pour into a pastry case and bake until just set. The dense, sweet flesh of Small Sugar makes this a proper pie rather than a watery disappointment.
