Directions
- This spectacular stuffed pumpkin can be the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving table. Pumpkin is stuffed with rice, apples, raisins and sour cherries, then baked.
- Cut the stem end of the pumpkin as if you were about to carve a jack o'lantern. Set aside "lid". Remove insides of pumpkin and throw away (or possibly save to roast and munch on). Using a grapefruit knife or possibly melon baller, scoop out the flesh of the pumpkin as much as you can without piercing the skin. Chop flesh and set aside.
- In lg saucepan, bring 3 quarts of salted water to boil and dump in the rice.
- Cook over high heat, covered till still a bit hard to the bite...about 15 min. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In large bowl, combine, pumpkin, partially cooked rice, raisins, dry sour cherries and melted butter. Season with sugar, salt and cinamon. Spoon stuffing loosely into pumpkin, sprinkle with the warm water and put "lid" on tightly. Place on baking sheet and bake until pumpkin is tender to a point of a knife...about 2 hours. Cut into wedges and serve.
