Re: pumpkin pie
Here is what I think Barb. Since a pumpkin is squash it is not a problem
to mix it with squash. Perhaps there has to be a percentage of pumpkin
squash in every can, but what organization would jump in when they taste the
same?

soon as they are done temps are perfect for growing!!!)

Hi, all.
Have to jump in on this one. I recently spoke to a farmer's rep in Turlock,
CA whose several hundred acre field of pumpkins was destined for the
processing plant.
Imagine driving along a highway and seeing a pumpkin field that goes on and
on, pumpkins as far as the eye can see in either direction. This prompted me
to stop and inquire at the "stand" that was set up to sell jack o'lanterns.
They obviously did not grow this huge field for Halloween sales.
Given the stringent labeling laws, I would doubt that a canner could pack
squash into a can and label it pumpkin. Seems to me that the FDA or some
other watchdog org would pick up on that one.
Brian, if you read this, could you please jump in here?
