    That is one pretty pumpkin and looks like it has the shape to be turned into a musical instrument!

    I love those and use them for all my baked treats (pumpkin pie, muffins, etc...). It is a potimarron (French) = Hokkaido Pumpkin = Chestnut Pumpkin = Baby Red Hubbard = Uchiki Kuri = Chinese Pumpkin = Japanese Pumpkin. I hope that helps.

    Cheers,

    Rosa

    Thank you Soma. I couldn't put my finger on it but now that you mentioned it so true a musical instrument!! :) Thank you so much Rosa this is extremely helpful. I haven't had a clue to the type of pumpkin and moreover, if this particular one is only decorative or suited for cooking. You've helped more than you can imagine!

    I just made a very "fall" dish withs sweet potatoes, but you can certainly do it with roasted cubed pumpkin and I then sauteed apples with brown sugar and maple syrup; tossed the caramelized apples with the pumpkin cubes and done! Awesome side dish! M loved it!

    I don't know the name, but it would taste good in our Pumpkin Pull-Apart Rolls! Can't wait to see what you make with it. http://www.redstaryeast.com/our-best-recipes/breads-rolls-and-more/pumpkin-pull-apart-pan-rolls
