nutrition data
Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.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 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.

I am totally addicted to this stuff. It's very easy to make, but be prepared to stand at the stove for awhile, stirring the mixture. I have given up jam/jelly and use pumpking butter instead now. It's excellent with cream cheese, either as a sandwich, on crackers, rice cakes and everything else.
