About Jack Be Little

90–100 days. Cute, ­miniature, deeply ribbed, flattened pumpkins. Mostly grown for fall decorations, but also surprisingly tasty diced up and put into soups or hollowed out, baked, and filled with stuffing, soup, or custard. Six to eight fruits per compact vine, which can be grown and trellised in a five-gallon pot. Heirloom.

Martha Stewart making candied custard-filled Jack Be Littles.
