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.

These are my teenage son's absolute favorite treat. He ask for them all the time.
My husband and I made these together for Saturday breakfast and served the remainder for Sunday lunch dessert. We used one-half cup brown sugar so they wouldn't be too sweet. Everyone loved them!
