Long neck pumpkins

How to cut a long neck pumpkin to make Pumpkin Pickles.








Last week I cut the long neck pumpkin, which I bought in Lancaster, Pa. In the past, I have used up to 5 sugar pumpkins per week, as seen in a posting from last year: Pumpkin Chips

The seeds are only in the round end, so I was able to get over 18 cups of chip sized pieces from the neck to make Pumpkin Chips and Pumpkin Pickles.

My last photo shows a portion of finished Pumpkin Pickles with long pepper, chunks of nutmeg, whole cloves, mace and cinnamon.
