PUMPKIN STEW



Pumpkin Stew image

This special stew is the meal our two kids look forward to each fall because we only get to enjoy it when the fresh pumpkins come out of the garden. The stew is cooked and served right in the pumpkin shell. A true taste of autumn, it also makes a pretty presentation at a potluck. -Donna Mosher, Augusta, Montana

PUMPKIN VEGETABLE STEW



Pumpkin Vegetable Stew image

I created this stew as a way to use pumpkin for more than just breads and pies. It's a meal by itself, but also serves as a side dish for meat and potatoes. It's great during the fall, and is as colorful as the season. My family loves it.
