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.
