Pumpkin
Pumpkins have been used in recipes for centuries. The first recorded pumpkin recipe was for a soup, which appeared in an English cookbook in 1675. Since then, pumpkins have been used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes, from pies and cakes to soups and stews.
Pumpkins are native to North America, and were used by the Native Americans in a variety of ways. They would roast the seeds and grind them into a powder to use as a flour, and also used the flesh of the pumpkin in soups and stews. When the Europeans arrived in North America, they quickly took to pumpkins as well.
Pumpkins became especially popular in the United States in the 19th century. One of the first pumpkin recipes to appear in an American cookbook was for pumpkin pie, which appeared in Amelia Simmons’ 1796 cookbook, “American Cookery.” This recipe was made with a pumpkin that was boiled and then mashed, mixed with milk, eggs, and spices, and baked in a pie crust.
