Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Where do you buy apricot nectar?
Look in the bottled juice section of your supermarket

Made this for our firm's Christmas party. Got rave reviews. It is very flavorful and moist. Plus very simple to make! One thing I changed, however, was butter for margarine. I'll make it again, no doubt about it.
