This round, heavy gourd, known as both a pumpkin and a squash, has green-and-white mottled skin, dense orange flesh, and a sweet full flavor. Because the skin is very hard, you will need to use a large, heavy knife to cut the squash into chunks. When cooked, the skin is completely edible, so my recipes call for removing the stem and seeds, but not peeling the pumpkin.
