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.

ingredients
2 cups flour
2 cups peanut oil
2 onions
4 tablespoons Creole seasoning
1 red bell peppers
1 green bell peppers
2 teaspoons crab boil seasoning
4 ribs celery
5 bay leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh garlic
salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 pounds whole duckling
2 gallons good quality duck stock
3 links alligator sausage
1 bunch green onions
1 bunch parsley
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 dash favorite hot sauce
directions
Before you start anything, you must roast the duck very well seasoned with salt, pepper and granulated garlic at 325 degrees F for 2 1/2 hours. Let cool, then pull all the meat and separate the bones for your stock.
Then make dark roux. The darker the better, just be careful not to burn or get specks. Add onion, pepper, celery, garlic, bay leaves and tomato paste. Keep stirring roux with vegetables for 3 minutes on medium heat.
Add duck stock, creole seasonings, crab boil, simmer 3 to 4 hours or until desired consistency. Skimming constantly.
The last 1/2 hour, add the diced duck and alligator sausage. Finish with chopped parsley, chopped green onions, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt and pepper, all to taste.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
