HOW TO CHOOSE AND MAXIMIZE THE PRESERVATION OF YOUR PUMPKIN?
Preferably, choose a firm pumpkin free of blemishes. Once carved, the pumpkin will not keep as long. If you keep it outside, avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or rain.
Furthermore, the internet is full of delicious sweet and savory recipes to prepare your harvest, so don't hesitate to give it a try! You can also dry the seeds and freeze the flesh.
