Che fruit

  Che fruit is a fig relative with maybe some vague similarities in texture but they taste very different.  Che fruit is sweet but with no noticeable acidity, which appeals to some people but other people find uninteresting.  (Our own family is divided.)  The taste is sometimes reminiscent of watermelon.  They look kind of like an extra-large, solid round red raspberry.  They have no seeds or pit so the whole fruit is edible.  All we've ever done with them is to eat them fresh as a snack.

Cushaws

 

  The seed for our cushaw pumpkins originally came to us from a friend in the Brushy Mountains (the same friend that got us started growing the heirloom field corn variety we've been growing every year for going on 20 years.)  This variety makes large (mostly 10-20 lb) pumpkins that are kind of pear shaped.  The skin is creamy white with green mottled vertical stripes.  The flesh is much paler in color than other pumpkins (like the large Cranford Woodleaf pumpkins we've sold for a number of years) but we've really enjoyed them as pie pumpkins.  We also enjoy them cut up into cubes, tossed with butter and salt and then roasted.  The taste is also milder than other pumpkins.  These cushaw type pumpkins have a fair but not outstanding potential storage life, maybe up to about 3 months.
