STUFFED BABY PUMPKINS
Sarah Frey, who sells more pumpkins than anyone else in America, often entertains retailers and produce executives at her farmhouse in southern Illinois. She likes to serve white baby pumpkins stuffed with spinach and cheese. Along with their orange counterparts, mini-pumpkins are often considered more decorative than culinary. But they make a dramatic side dish that can be stuffed with any manner of fillings that complement the layer of soft, cooked pumpkin that clings to the skin. This recipe uses Gruyère and kale, with pine nuts for texture and red pepper flakes for heat. The hardest part is carving off the pumpkin tops and cleaning out the tiny seeds. Bake for an hour, then test; it is hard to predict how much time each pumpkin takes to become tender when pierced with a fork.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Wash the pumpkins. With a small, sharp knife, remove the tops as if for a jack-o'-lantern. Scoop out the seeds and stringy insides with a spoon, leaving the flesh intact. Rinse, then rub with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat, then add the scallions and cook for a few minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute or so, until fragrant. Add the kale and cook until it just wilts, about 3 or 4 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice and transfer to a bowl. Add the bread crumbs, cheese, pine nuts, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black peppers. Mix well, then stir in the cream.
- Divide the filling into the pumpkins and replace the tops. Rub a baking dish with olive oil and arrange the filled pumpkins in the dish.
- Bake for 1 hour, watching to make sure the tops don't brown too much. Test the pumpkins by piercing with a fork. If the skin doesn't pierce easily, remove the tops and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes. Replace the tops and serve hot.

STUFFED PUMPKIN
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8 inch baking dish. Combine the corn bread, toasted bread and crackers in a large mixing bowl. Pour the stock into a saucepan and add celery and onion. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the stock mixture from the stove and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before proceeding. When it has cooled, add the stock mixture to the bread crumb mixture along with the eggs, butter, sage, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
- In a skillet, saute the onion in the olive oil until it is brown. Add the butter and lower the heat. As the butter melts, add the flour, stirring constantly to keep it from burning. After the flour browns, add the stock and stir until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the top off each pumpkin in a zigzag pattern. Scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each pumpkin. Rub the outsides and lids with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the lid on each, but slightly ajar. Place in a baking pan and pour in 1/2 cup water. Roast 20 to 25 minutes, until the pumpkins are slightly softened. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, cut the bread into 1/2-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Add the milk and let stand until the bread absorbs most of it. Squeeze the bread lightly and pour off excess milk. (Bread should be moist.) Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the stuffing evenly among the pumpkins. Replace the lids. Add additional water if pan is dry. Roast 40 to 50 minutes, or until the stuffing is cooked through and pumpkin is tender. Test by inserting a paring knife into the center of the stuffing for 5 seconds. (The knife will come out warm when the stuffing is cooked.) Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Thoroughly clean the outside of the pumpkin. Cut off top of pumpkin to make a lid. Remove the seeds and scrape out any stringy pulp. Combine stuffing ingredients and mix well in a bowl. Fill the pumpkin with the stuffing. (Be sure to leave some space at top.) Cover with lid, and bake on an oiled cookie sheet for 50 minutes at 400 degrees. Lower the temperature to 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until the stuffing sets. (The stuffing is set when a fork is inserted in the center and comes out clean.)
- Cut the pumpkin into eight sections and serve the wedges topped with either cranberry sauce or gravy

STUFFED PUMPKIN (WITH BACON GRUYERE STUFFING)

Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper (see last step for stovetop instructions). Using a very sturdy knife, cut a cap out of the top of the pumpkin (like a Halloween jack-o'-lantern) by working your knife around the top in a circle at a 45 degree angle. Cut out a large enough cap to make it easy to work inside the pumpkin. Remove the seeds and strings from the cap and from inside the pumpkin. Season the inside of the pumpkin generously with salt and pepper and put it on the baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, toss the bread, cheese, garlic, bacon and herbs together. Season with salt and pepper to taste and pack the mixture into the pumpkin. The pumpkin should be well filled (you might have a little too much filling or you might need to add to it). In a small bowl, stir the cream and the nutmeg together, seasoning the mixture with salt and pepper, then pour it into the pumpkin (again, you might have too much or too little--the ingredients should not swim in cream but they should be nicely moistened).
- Put the cap in place and bake the pumpkin for 90 minutes. Remove the cap and return to the oven for another 20 to 30 minutes, until everything inside the pumpkin is bubbling and the flesh of the pumpkin is tender enough to be pierced easily with the tip of a knife. Remove the pumpkin very carefully (it will be heavy, hot and wobbly) and place it on the table or transfer it to a platter. To serve, either spoon out portions of the filling and pumpkin meat, or dig into the pumpkin meat with a large spoon and mix it into the filling before spooning out portions.
- You may also cook the pumpkin in a large Dutch oven and bring it directly to the table for serving.
SAVORY STUFFED PUMPKIN
"As soon as pumpkins are available in October, I stock up on them for making this special dish," pens Patricia Sacheck from her family's ranch outside Wasilla, Alaska. "The beefy mixture is filling and tastes good the next day - that is, if there are any leftovers!"

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack set in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or use a Dutch oven that is slightly larger in diameter than your pumpkin (in which case, you will need to serve your pumpkin from the Dutch oven, as it may stick, but it will keep its shape better this way).
- Using a sharp, sturdy knife, cut off top of pumpkin, working around the top with the knife inserted at a 45-degree angle to cut off enough to make it easy to work inside the pumpkin; reserve top. Remove seeds and strings from cap and pumpkin. Season inside of pumpkin generously with salt and pepper. Place on prepared baking sheet or in Dutch oven; set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together bread, cheese, garlic, bacon, chives, and thyme until well combined. Pack into pumpkin; it should be well filled but not overstuffed. You may need to add some bread and cheese or some of the filling may not be necessary to use. In a small bowl, stir cream and nutmeg to combine. Pour over filling; filling should be moist but not swimming in cream -- you may need to use more or less accordingly.
- Place top on pumpkin and transfer to oven; cook until filling is bubbling and pumpkin flesh is tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove top and continue baking until liquid is slightly evaporated and top of filling is browned, 20 to 30 minutes more.
- Carefully transfer pumpkin to a serving platter (or serve in Dutch oven, if using) and serve.
