The seeds were given to the colonials by the Indians and considered a mainstay in their food supply. They made many things from it including pie and Alcoholic Beverages.
"Colonial Englishwomen, following the English tradition of making pies out of just about anything, quickly figured out how to make a pumpkin pie, though they didn't call it that. The first American cookbook, published in 1796 by Amelia Simmons, offers two recipes for pumpkin pudding, one with a "paste," or crust, and one without. The pumpkin was to be stewed first, then cooked with cream, eggs, sugar, mace, nutmeg, and ginger, and baked threequarters of an hour-a recipe remarkably like the one on the label of the Libby pumpkin can."
