  • Dark Brown Sugar

It’s easy to forget that pumpkins are tasty as well as decorative! Have a look at your grocery store - near the big, carving pumpkins, you’ll likely find smaller ones labelled “Sugar Pumpkins”, or “Pie Pumpkins”. They’re less watery and more flavourful than the big ones, making this colourful member of the squash family the perfect addition to any fall feast. By using a variety of warm spices to balance the sugar, we’ve created a side dish that has a little bit of everything from sweet to heat! We’re sure this will be a family favourite every autumn.

Chef's Tip


*Substitute any winter squash for the sugar pumpkin. Good ones to try are kabocha, butternut, acorn, or delicata.

*Wash the outside of the pumpkin thoroughly to get rid of any dirt before cutting.

*Pierce the skin a few times with a fork or a paring knife and microwave for about 5 minutes to make it easier to cut open the pumpkin.

*Slice off the stem to make a flat surface. Lay that flat surface on a cutting board to ensure the pumpkin does not roll away from you when slicing.

*Roast the seeds that you remove from the pumpkin for a tasty snack.
