Description
Although pumpkin bread and other pumpkin recipes are closely associated with American cuisine, these foods have a lengthy history in North America. Many Native Americans tribes developed their pumpkin-based recipes prior to the arrival of European settlers in the New World. Pumpkin based foods are so old in North America, that archaeologists have found pumpkin remnants among the 800-year-old ruins of the Anasazi in the southwestern United States!
