Capri learns about the history of pumpkins in Illinois at The Great Highwood Pumpkin Festival, and takes in a bit of fun, carving a pumpkin, tasting some pumpkin delicacies and taking in the wall of 30, 000 jack o' lanterns. Capri visits the region around Morton, the epicenters of Dickinson Squash production which is used in most canned pumpkin production. Capri gains an understanding of pumpkin harvesting from a local farmer and then prepares some a pumpkin cream soup with a favorite pumpkin variety. In Chicago, Capri enjoys a pumpkin seed mole verde dish made by a chef from the Istmo region of Oaxaca, the birthplace of mole.
