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
1 1/2 pound serrano or jalapeno chilies
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 medium white onions, thickly sliced
3 medium carrots, scraped and thickly sliced
1 head garlic, cloves separated but not peeled
3 cups mild vinegar

OR
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
6 sprigs fresh thyme
OR
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon sugar
directions
Wash the chilies, leaving the stems intact. Cut a cross in the tip end of each chili so the vinegar can penetrate.
Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet. Add the chilies, onions, carrots, and garlic and fry over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning them over from time to time.
Add the vinegar, salt, herbs, and sugar, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes for serranos or 10 minutes for jalapenos.
Pack sterilized half-pint jars with the chilies, vegetables, and herbs, then top with vinegar and seal.
These should keep for about 1 month in the refrigerator.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
