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.

- #30284
Looking for something a little different this Thanksgiving? Try this light citrus combination of grapefruit, orange, and tangerine in place of your usual fruit salad.
ingredients
2 grapefruit
3 oranges
2 tangerines
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shredded coconut
directions
Peel and divide the fruits into sections. Place a layer of grapefruit, oranges, and tangerines in a serving dish. Toss gently to mix them up. Sprinkle the fruits with half of the sugar and half of the coconut. Place another layer of fruit on top of the sugar, sprinkling them randomly so the different fruits are evenly dispersed. Top with the remaining sugar and coconut.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour. Stir the ambrosia salad gently before serving.

Wonderfully simple. I usually whip some cream and mix it in too.
