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 used this recipe as a starting point because I wanted chewy pralines. So I added 1/4 a cup of butter and cut the sugar to 1 cup while adding 1/4 cup of light karo syrup. I melted the sugar and syrup together then added milk and butterscotch pudding mix and stirred till mix disolved. Removed from heat to slowly add the butter. Then brought to boil for 2 min. Added nuts and boiled for 2 minutes more. Removed from heat and stirred until it starts to cool and stiffen. Then I dropped spoonfuls onto a buttered pan. The pralines turned out great. I might try it with a different flavored pudding!
