Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
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.

reviews & comments
what are brown beans? Can I use any type of cornmeal? and can this be made with gluten free flour? Thank you for this recipe - it sounds promising.
Brown beans are a type of bean - somewhat similar to kidney or pinto beans. Any cornmeal should be fine but you'd have to experiment with the gluten free flour as that is outside the scope of this recipe.
