Sugar Pie 'Small Sugar' Pumpkins

These pumpkins are favored for pumpkin pies. Sugar Pie pumpkins have the highest concentration of sugar than other domestic pumpkins, making them best suited for pies. A typical 6" Sugar Pie pumpkin is enough for one pumpkin pie (8" pie pan). The four Sugar Pie pumpkins illustrated show various stages of the pumpkin ripening. Notice the orange/brown pumpkin skin on the left pumpkin, this reflects a fully ripped Sugar Pie pumpkin. Sugar Pies can reach a maximum of 5 pounds in weight.
