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.

Put sugar into a medium sauce pan and pour water over. Do not stir. Cover loosely. Cook 6 minutes. Add butter one stick at a time and stir each until completely melted.
As soon as the last stick is melted, add the two cups of almonds and stir continuously until the mixture turns a rich auburn color. You will think you are burning it but cook till auburn.

This recipe came out awesome! If you follow the directions PRECISELY, as I did, you will be ecstatic with the results! And you DON'T need a candy thermometer!I have had difficulty in the past with making candy, and getting it to harden, but this worked beautifully! It takes some patience, ( about 10-15 minutes of constant stirring), but the end result is well worth it. Try it!
