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.

2-5 hrs
ingredients
2 quarts water
1 fresh (unsmoked) pork hock
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 package (16 ounce size) frozen turnip greens, thawed
1 package (16 ounce size) frozen mustard greens, thawed
chopped green onions (optional)
1 tomato, chopped (optional)
directions
In a 2-quart saucepan, combine water and pork hock. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 1 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.
Remove the hock, trimming any fat, and reserve. Chill broth until fat can be spooned off surface and discarded.
In a 4-quart Dutch oven, cook onion in oil over low heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
In a blender, process 1/4 cup broth, garlic, vinegar, salt and red pepper until garlic is minced. Add garlic broth mixture and remaining broth to onions.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Stir in greens and meat from hock.
Return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 25 to 30 minutes, until greens are tender. Serve with chopped green onions and tomato.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
