I my golly! Yall are so right about the canned pumpkin! Went down to 2 grocery stores. Neither one had canned pumpkin. They did have one box of halloween carving pumpkins. I have never made
pumpkin bread or pies out of a real live pumpkin...I've always bought the pumpkin in the can.
Pumpkins do not grow well here in central Florida. Okay so if I go buy a whole pumpkin what do I do first. Do i cut it open and clean it out like when your going to carve it? And do you peel the skin off? What part of the pumpkin do you utilize? Do I cook it first before I use it in recipes? Help I need answers!! Thanks!!

Ladies, have to laugh well reading your posts... You all love the same things I love and fourtunatly have access to. They still have the maple leaf cookies in the stores and you can make the squash pie with canned pumpkin, the spices are slightly diffrent, but it comes out the same. If anyone would like the recipie, shoot me an email and I will give it to you. Matter of fact, we use canned squash in place of pumpkin when pumpkin is not available.
I did a swap recentaly with another farm girl that included items for our region.
In the box I sent her I put coffe surype (Rhode isnland staple), Maple surype from NH., blueberry coffe from maine.. Marshmellow fluff from Massachusetts... etc etc..
Maybe we could do a regional swap if any of you would be interested. I love getting things from other places.
Oh happy day! Farmgirl sister #1485

Oh Robin! You are a girl after my own heart! My Mom went back east a few years ago and brought me some Coffee Syrup (Eclipse) and some Fluff :) The Blueberry Coffee sounds wonderful!
A regional swap sounds fun! I did that once on another board along with including a recipe from the region, it was alot of fun!
