You can use a regular pumpkin to create your pumpkin pies or you can use something a little more unique. The Blue Moon pumpkin is quite an interesting pumpkin. The outside is blue and the flesh is cantaloupe's orange. In fact, when I cut it open, it smelled like the cantaloupe as well. I used a Blue Moon pumpkin to make a pumpkin pie and it turned out quite nice. When at the market this fall, pick up a Blue Moon pumpkin. You won't be disappointed.
That is a beautiful photo! I have never heard of blue moon pumpkins, when I glanced at the photo I thought maybe you had edited it with photoshop of something--but I love the fact you didn't. Thanks for the education and the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe blue pumpkin is so pretty, My friends are planning a fall wedding and there color is blue and I thought this would be great to use to decorate for the wedding but my only question is where can you find these pumpkins at? and are they all as blue as the one in your picture?
ReplyDeleteThe shades will vary. I bought mine at Superstore last year. There weren't too many of them and I had not seen them anywhere else before that. All the best!
ReplyDeleteI seen this on Pinterest and was wondering where can I find the seeds? I've never seen such a blue pumpkin and I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could tell you but I have no idea. I found the pumpkins at a supermarket and they were only there for a short while. The orange ones were plentiful and there for longer.
ReplyDeleteim in wisconsin and see these pumpkins here and there but today i happened across a farm that had just as many of these (and other intresting looking ones) as they had the normal orange ones. they had to have over a hundred in the yard already and a bunch more ready for harvest
ReplyDeleteFound this via pinterest. Beautiful picture, I've never head of these-off to learn more! Thank you!

Gorgeous! I have shared this on my fb page... So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh!!! I just love this color.. I hope I can find some around where I live.. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThe seeds are online.. about $2.99 per packet. The shipping is $6.99 so I passed.. :(
ReplyDeleteJust bought them on Amazom.com for $1.89.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen these blue pumpkins, so when I ran into a giant box full of them the day after Halloween, I bought 4 of them. They were reduced to $1.00 for a 20-25 lb. size.
ReplyDeleteI've cooked one and it was incredibly delicious. It is now middle of April and the 3 left on the shelf are still in great shape. I kept them in a cool place. I plan to cook another one soon, probably roast it in the oven. My neighbors are looking forward to it because they also loved the first one.
I am not sure what I will do with the seeds, but I will save them in case I can't find these again.
I planted the orange variety 2 years ago, but here in the hot Tucson climate, it didn't get to grow bigger than 15 lbs.
I just want to say these pumpkins are wonderful and tasty, besides being beautiful.
I bought them at Wal-Mart.
How I wish I lived somewhere that sold these more often. I have only seen them once here, bought one and took this pic and made the pie. Would love to do this again!!
DeleteWould you plant some if I send you the seeds?
DeleteI would love some seeds to plant :)
DeleteI know this is over now. just found this & loved it.. thx. for posting to share
