Pumpkin varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common pumpkin varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Sugar Pie	Pies, purée, and baking: sweet, dense, low moisture.
Kabocha	Roasting and curries: dry, sweet, chestnut-like flesh.
Jarrahdale	Soups and roasting: firm, sweet, stores well.
Queensland Blue	Roasting and soups: dense, nutty all-rounder.
Connecticut Field	Carving and decoration: large, stringy, bland to eat.

Which should I pick?

For pies, purée, and baking, a Sugar Pie pumpkin is the sweetest and least watery choice. When you can't find one, Kabocha gives a similar dense, sweet flesh and roasts well; Jarrahdale and Queensland Blue are firm all-rounders for soups and roasting. Skip large Connecticut Field (carving) pumpkins for cooking, the flesh is stringy and bland.
