(available in specialty food stores)

This spectacular stuffed pumpkin can be the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving table or any table. The 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 the "lid".  Remove insides of the pumpkin and discard.  Using a grapefruit knife or melon baller; scoop & clean as much of the inside of the pumpkin out without piercing the skin.  This will get it ready for the stuffing.  In large saucepan, bring 3 qts. of salted water to a boil and dump in the rice.  Cook over high heat, covered until still a bit hard to the bite...about 15 minutes.  Drain well.  Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In large bowl, combine apples, partially cooked rice, raisins, dried sour cherries and melted butter.  Season with sugar, salt and cinnamon.  Spoon stuffing loosely into pumpkin, sprinkle with the hot water and put "lid" on tightly.  Place on baking sheet and bake till pumpkin is tender to a point of a knife about 2 hrs.  Spoon out stuffing or cut into wedges and serve. Yield: 8 Servings Enjoy! "
