Japanese chestnut pumpkin (Potimarron)

The potimarron is a kind of pumpkin which originated in Asia. It's shaped like a very large pear, with a hard reddish-orange skin.

It is different from the classic pumpkin, especially in 2 respects: the skin is edible, and its flavour - which is rather like chestnut - is stronger.

If you intend to buy: See the seasons calendar about it.

Potimarrons weight about 2-3 kilos each, they can be kept several times until they are open or cut.

If you want to use it: See this page.

If you're talking about Mirlitons ("Mirlons maybe?), it's a pastry made of puff-pastry and almond cream or frangipane, old and simple recipe but so delicious.

Are these ingredients used in a pastry product named “Merliton”? Found this pastry in “La Mallorguina”, Madrid, Spain
