Perfect Pumpkin Dessert

When used for jack-o'-lanterns, pumpkins can be creepy. Used in this recipe, though, they're definitely tasty.

The sight of golden pumpkins is a sure sign that autumn harvest has arrived. Carved and decorated, they bewitchingly greet trick-or-treaters, but their spooky guises don't stop us from savoring this treat in dishes such as Stuffed Pumpkin With Cranberry-Raisin Bread Pudding.

Be sure to purchase a blemish-free, brightly colored pumpkin that is heavy for its size. Look for sweet types such as sugar pumpkins, because the flesh is less stringy, sweeter, and more tender than those used as jack-o'-lanterns. Enjoy a taste of the season with this update on classic pumpkin pie flavors.
