Peter Burgess is into local history. Several years ago, he discovered a variety of winter squash called the Long Pie Pumpkin that came to Nantucket in 1832 aboard a whaling ship. Over time the variety was forgotten and almost lost, but Peter is one of a growing number of New England farmers trying to bring it back. This week on the Local Food Report, Elspeth talks with Peter about how to grow and cook with Long Pie Pumpkin, and why he thinks it’s a variety worth saving.
Elspeth’s posted her grandmother’s recipe for pumpkin pie on her blog, where you can also read more about the history of the Long Pie Pumpkin.
This piece is a rebroadcast. It originally aired September 22, 2011.
