    Fresh Pumpkin Blossoms
    As you all know by now my Mom is an avid gardener. Every summer since I can remember she
    has been making her famous fried pumpkin blossoms. I grew up eating them, my children have
    grown up eating them and now my grandchildren are eating them. I guess that the tradition is
    being passed down through the generations because they are so good and taste like fried morel
    mushrooms.

    Every spring, in our neck-of-the-woods, people go “mushroom hunting.” What they are actually
    doing is traipsing through the woods to find morel mushrooms. Now, remember, not all
    mushrooms are safe to eat. **Some mushrooms are poisonous so before you go gathering a
    handful make sure you are ingesting the safe varieties.
    Connecticut Field Pumpkins Growing

    See those lovely large green leaves growing on that mound of dirt? Those are pumpkins. Not just
    any kind of pumpkins but a variety called Connecticut Field Pumpkins. This particular variety of
    pumpkins is usually grown specifically for its blossoms. It can also be used for carving and for
    baking; although in my opinion there are better varieties to use for baking. It usually produces
    medium pumpkins; approximately 8 – 10 inches in height and 12 inches in diameter with the
    average weight being 12 pounds.

    Connecticut Field Pumpkins Blossoms

    It is easy to pick the pumpkin blossoms. They are so tender that they practically fall off into your
    hands when you pick them. Occasionally there will be a few bees inside the blossoms so we are
    always careful to tap the blossoms before we pick them. The bees help pollinate the plants and
    that, in turn, is what helps the plants produce the pumpkins.

    We gather as many of the blossoms as we want. If we leave the blossoms on the vine, they will
    eventually turn into pumpkins. We take the blossoms home and gently rinse them with cool
    water.

    Now for the yummy part.
