Green pumpkins

Any uses for lots of frost nipped little green pumpkins?

Plenty of ripe ones but would like to use the green ones too.

Thanks

Depending on how unripe, slice into sticks Mix Bread crumbs, regiano cheese parsley & salt & Pepper. Break 1` egg and bread. Fry in olive oil

If they're tender enough cook them like summer squash.

If the skins are too fibrous just cook them like winter squash. Little pumpkins are ready made casserole dishes. Cut the tops off, gut the seeds, stuff with your favorite mix, put the tops bake on then bake until soft. I like a mixture of cooked rice, onions, browned sausage meat, and a bit of extra sage.

Green pumpkins reminds me of the green pumpkin pie in the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Thinly sliced, peeled and then layered in the crust with spices, top crust over. Sounded good :)

and the recipe itself:

it's near the bottom; search the page for "green pumpkin"

Another recipe (looks basically similar):

I read those books (albeit a long time ago) but I don't remember that part. Do you recall which of the series mentioned it? I still have them around somewhere.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Made a pie using the recipe Scott posted the link for.

The taste is real similar to an apple pie. Yum!!

We've decided that the texture is a big enough detriment that we'll call it an interesting experiment. The pumpkin is a bit "slimy".

If anyone else wants to try this, I'd advise you use a volume similar to apples, and cut the slices a bit smaller than apple slices. Think I may have packed a few too many in. Half a 4# pumpkin is still way too much. I'd like to try it again, as the taste is good, but know I'd be alone at the table.
