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.

LOVED IT!!!!

I loved this! It wasn't overly spicy and the kids could eat it without it being too hot for them. Next time I'll double it because it went fast.

Spicy but refreshing. The water from the tomatoes was actually a welcome addition. Since I let mine set for a few hours to let the flavors meld, the bulk of the ingredients dried out just a tad. Stirring the flavorful water back in made it great!

The salsa ended up being a little watery so if you want you can eliminate the juices from the fresh diced tomatoes to prevent that. I expected it to have more fiery kick to it with both jalapenos and serrano peppers in it but I think the canned crushed tomatoes helped balance that out. I did add more salt than called for but otherwise followed the recipe and was quite pleased with it.
