Unique Pumpkin Recipe
from the Heart of Ohio
(NAPSA)-For many Americans, the
sight of pumpkins means a change in seasons. But in Ohio, it means
things are about to get a little crazy.
In addition to many other fall
festivals, Ohio is home to the Circleville Pumpkin Show. This annual
festival has been called "The Greatest Free Show on Earth," and is a
hotbed for fall enthusiasts and food lovers from across the United
States. The show features the World's Largest Pumpkin Pie, more than
1 million pumpkin doughnuts, giant pumpkins weighing more than 1,000
lbs., a 40-ft. tower of pumpkins and pumpkin-themed contests. In
addition, the festival is known for unique pumpkin cuisine including
decadent pumpkin fudge, warm pumpkin cider, crunchy pumpkin waffles,
pumpkin ice cream, zesty pumpkin tacos, pumpkin pizza and even
pumpkin chili!
