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.

reviews & comments
I found that there was some spice that would have improved the recipe -- I added cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to good effect. I also found that the amount of bourbon was *way* too high. I got a contact high off of the fumes when mashing everything together. I'd recommend cutting the alcohol content in half, compensating with cream/milk if too thick.
