It’s hard to imagine that cool weather is coming, but with that in mind, this month’s recipe celebrates the pumpkin. The mighty pumpkin is not a vegetable; it is actually a fruit. The name “pumpkin” comes from the German word “pepon,” meaning large melon. Every part of the pumpkin is edible, including the skin, leaves, flowers and stem. It is a great source of beta carotene, which gives it its orange color (just like carrots and sweet potatoes).
