cook's notes
This has been a family tradition for us on Christmas morning for close to 20 years. Works great for brunch during the rest of the year, too.
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.
