Dice apple
1 T Thyme
Chives
3 cloves of garlic & Salt & Pepper
½ c cream
Nutmeg, freshly grated
(Sautéed Mushrooms, Dried Fruit??)
1. Toss together and spoon lightly into pumpkin – do not pack it in!
2. Pour over stuffing - ½ c cream with freshly grated nutmeg
3. Bake 350 about 1 ½ hours – remove top after first hour for browning.
4. Present – Cut into fourths ?? Serve with extra stuffing
**Last time my mother made it, she didn’t put in any cheese………..lots of sautéed mushrooms, onion, some
rehydrated/chopped up craisins (dried cranberries), dried apple (because that’s what she had) some fresh cooked
cranberries & some chopped walnuts**
** You can do this with Acorn Squash or Butternut Squash. Cut it in half and scoop out a little extra of the squash - use
the flesh you remove in soup or risotto or something**
