Autumn is absolutely, hands down, my FAVORITE season! The smell of winter on it's way brings us cooler weather, colorful scenery, and amazing food. This week I had the pleasure of processing one of my favorite Autumn foods. PUMPKINS!!
I had pumpkin vines growing everywhere but only ended up with four due to the mighty arm of the armadillo clan.. They ravaged my pumpkins, cantaloupe, watermelon, and Santa Clause melons. Next year I think I may put an electric fence around the whole thing!
We ended up with 14 quarts of cubed pumpkin, two delicious pints of pumpkin butter, cinnamon sugar pumpkin seeds, and two scrumptious pies (one didn't make it for the picture). ;) I couldn't be happier to indulge in my love of Autumn so early AND have plenty for more yummy-goodness in my pantry for later.
What is YOUR favorite season? What do you enjoy most about Autumn?
