The Sugar Baby pumpkins that I used to grow for pies were a 60-70 day
crop- unlike the big ones that are 120+.
I can't find "Sugar Baby" -- but further thought & a bit of poking
around makes me think these were more like 90 day pumpkins. I
planted them 2nd week of June & first frost was usually mid-Sept.
This page has a bunch of pumpkin varieties and mentions the vine,
which reminded me that these things I used to grow were 'bush'
pumpkins.

Thanks for the search. Typing "Sugar Baby" into Google was quite
titillating ;O)
We have an productive cumquat tree. My wife went googling "cumquat
jam". You do get some recipes but not all are to do with boiling
fruit with sugar.
