Cinderella Pumpkin
Pumpkin from Exotic Pumpkins in Andover, MN
Cinderella
Pumpkins are a unique French heirloom whose correct
name is "Rouge vif D'Etampes".
The source of their nickname it that they
resemble the pumpkin that Cinderella's
fairy godmother transformed into a
carriage. This pumpkin is recorded as
having been the variety cultivated by the Pilgrims
and served at the second Thanksgiving dinner.
Cinderellas
make a delightful decorative accent
for the fall season, but additionally
their flavor is good for any pie or
winter squash recipes.
