Pumpkin and squash are great sources of vitamin A and contain potassium. Pumpkins are a member of the Cucurbita family which includes squash and cucumbers.

Did you know that the flowers of the pumpkin are actually edible? Did you know that pumpkins are 90 per cent water?

These pumpkin scones are light and fluffy and freeze really well.

Thank you to my friend Peveline for sharing this pumpkin scone recipe with me, which she got from her mother-in-law. Love those kinds of recipes. Do you have a favourite pumpkin recipe? Or what about a favourite scone recipe? We would love to hear from you.
