October is pumpkin season. They’re in our drinks, on our front porches and in our meals.
For those who are craving a good pumpkin pie, you don’t have to go far in Scarborough to find one.
For the month of October, Remezzo, Gerhard’s Café, and Montmartre are all serving slices of pumpkin pie. Café Mirage has theirs until November.
Agincourt Bakery has pumpkin tarts and cheesecakes as added treats in addition to their pie.
If you can’t get out for a slice, here’s a terrific recipe to try at home.
