Chestnut-Stuffed Pumpkin

By John, 27 September, 2010
Description
Chestnut-Stuffed PumpkinA sugar pumpkin filled with chestnuts, butter, maple syrup, and bourbon and baked. This is festive, pretty, and easy to make.
Yield
6 Servings
Preparation time
2 hours
Ingredients
1 Sugar Pumpkin (opened and cleaned)
2 T Butter (Unsalted) (diced)
14 oz Chestnuts (shelled and cooked)
1⁄4 c Maple Syrup
1⁄4 c Bourbon
1⁄4 t Salt
Instructions
  1. Cut the top of the pumpkin as if to make a Jack o'Lantern, and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Hash up the inside with a knife to allow the butter and syrup to penetrate. Be careful not to puncture the skin!
  3. In a bowl, toss the cooked chestnuts with diced butter, salt, maple syrup, and Bourbon.
  4. Fill the pumpkin with the chestnut mixture.
  5. Bake at 350 for an hour and a half or so. It is done when the skin of the pumpkin gives under firm pressure. This varies greatly with the size of the pumpkin and other factors.
  6. Serve hot by slicing like a pie into crescents of pumpkin topped with sweet chestnuts.
Notes
This is very festive!
