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
This never jelled. Still liquid after 24 hours in the refrig, so I have soupy salad! Somehow the ingredients are off measure; did not think that pineapple would work in gelatin salads. I should have known better.
This recipe has positive reviews so it doesn't seem the fault of the recipe/ingredients. Did you change anything?

I made this for a traditional Thanksgiving meal and everyone loved it. It was easy to make. I was hoping it would be a little more tart, but I used a very sweet apple. Even my fruit phobic Dad enjoyed this dish. I'll make this again!

I made and sent this to a get together I didn't even get to attend. Everybody went on and on about how delicious it was. I think it's my "thing" now, as they asked me to make it again this Sunday. super easy

This salad is excellent. I plan to make it again for Thanksgiving. Actually it is so good it could be a desert.
