Curious about these bumpy pumpkins? They are a particular variety often known as “knuckleheads”. If you aquire any , they are as sweet as other pumpkins. We punctured holes in them w a fork, baked 30-60 min in oven. At that point , they are easy to cut and scoop out seeds. Finished baking them until soft and flesh can be scooped out.
Thank you to Brookdale Fruit Farm - Hollis, NH for making us aware of these pumpkins.

Thank you to Souhegan High School sophomores who chose to volunteer for Community Service with Hillsborough County Gleaners.

We appreciate your help!
