I bought a large orange pumpkin for Halloween. Alas, we didn't carve it and it has been sitting on my counter for over a month now! My question is...do I cook it or compost it?  We like pies, muffins and breads...no soups or savory dishes. Thanks, Michelle |

Michelle,
If there are no visible signs of rot, then cook it.

Connecticutt feild pumpkin has ah um a distinct odor when being boiled, I might gut it and roast it in largish peices, before baking into pies.
Boiling makes it too wet IMO. stanky too.
