Pumpkins, Pies Set Size Records
Consider the jack-o-lantern you could make with the world's largest pumpkin. A Rhode Island farmer may have set the record with a pumpkin weighing more than 1,500 pounds. You could use it to make a pie big enough to stand alongside the world's largest cranberry cheesecake. Make-a-Wish Foundation volunteers claim they made it in Eagle River, Wisc. It weighed 3,000 pounds, including 600 pounds of cream cheese alone.
