Ingredients

1 medium Sugar pumpkin
6 Spartan apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 C chopped Walnuts
1 (16 ounce) can whole berry Cranberry sauce
1 (20 ounce) can Pineapple chunks, drained
¾ C packed Brown sugar
½ C golden Raisins
½ C dark Rum (optional)
2 tsp minced fresh Ginger root
1 Tbs freshly grated Nutmeg
1 Tbs ground Cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Position rack in the center of the oven. Cut out top of pumpkin, and set aside. Scoop out seeds with a metal spoon. In a large bowl, stir together the apples, walnuts, cranberry sauce, pineapple, brown sugar, raisins, and rum. Season with ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and mix well. Spoon the mixture into the cleaned pumpkin, and replace top. Set pumpkin directly on a baking stone or a thick baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until pumpkin begins to soften. Remove from heat, and stir, scraping the sides gently, so that some pieces of pumpkin fall into the apple mixture.
