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.

The recipe was easy to follow. I have been wanting to make these, as they were my father's favorite. Everyone I have given these to have raved madly about them and want more! I had NO problem following directions; they were concise and clear. The recipe is SO yummy AND it looks SO pretty in the jars, too! I did add some carrots for color.
