I make a pumpkin stew every Halloween and my kids love it.
        I start out by cleaning a nice size pumpkin. I save the
        seeds and bake them later. Then I put the following
        ingredients in the pumpkin and bake.
 

        I mix this together in a bowl then pour in pumpkin shell
        and bake in a slow oven 300 degrees for 3.5 hours or until
        meat is tender. I also add some of the cut pumpkin and
        sometimes sweet potatoes cut up.
        When finished, I carefully carry the pumpkin (which is on a
        cookie sheet) to the table and serve right from the
        pumpkin! It puts everyone in a Halloween mood. I usually
        serve this with some crispy French bread and some kind of a
        green salad.)
