Cut stem with a knife, leaving 3\"–4\" of stem on the pumpkin. Do not hold the pumpkin by the stem; if stem attachment gets broken, or any part of the pumpkin bruises, the pumpkin may rot. Brush off any dirt or leaves. Ideally, cure at 80°-85°F and 80–85% humidity or a warm, sunny spot with good air circulation for 1 to 2 weeks before eating or storage. Do not allow harvested fruit to get wet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop with confidence when you shop at Southern Agriculture.
