As soon as October hits, there are 2 things I can't wait for. 1. planning my birthday dinner, which is usually a big bowl of steamed mussels or my favorite penne with vodka sauce. and 2. a trip to Gordon Skagit Farms aka fall wonderland! For another wonderful soup try my Butternut squash and pear soup, it takes the flavor of soup to another level.

Beautiful pumpkins at Gordon Skagit Farms

I'll write more about the pumpkin farm in another post, but let me tell you, if you love pumpkins and fall, you will fall in love with this farm. There are dozens and dozens of different types of pumpkins, gourds and squashes with booming colors and piles of interest.

I had the lovely opportunity to chat with one of the owners, Eddie Gordon and he raved about a pumpkin called winter luxury pumpkin (pictured below). You can click on this Mixcloud link to listen to my chat with him and about his favorite pumpkin! He gave me one to try and I couldn't wait to roast it!

Winter Luxury Pumpkins at Gordon Skagit Farms

Besides having a gorgeous look with a slightly etched outer skin and light orange hue, this pumpkin was spectacular. As it slowly roasted in the oven, our entire house smelled like fall. It smelled sweet and caramely and almost of home baked cookies, if you can believe that.

Roast your own pumpkin

This was the first time I roasted a fresh pumpkin, and it is life changing! The overwhelming aroma is addictive and the pumpkin flesh was outstanding. As the pumpkin roasts, it begins to collapse, giving away that it's nearly done.

The flesh pulls away from the skin and if you did it right, you'll get addictive caramelized edges from the natural sugars that you'll be snacking on straight from the pan.

The winter luxury pumpkin was so delicious, I didn't want to overwhelm it's natural flavors and instead kept it simple in a creamy pumpkin soup. I enhanced it's natural sweetness with a bit of maple syrup and dusted some warm paprika in the mix. And of course, pumpkins best fried, sage is perfectly fried to a delicious crisp. Why don't they make sage chips? Life changing.

What to make with roasted pumpkin?

This recipe only uses 2 cups of roasted pumpkin, so you will definitely have extra!
