Abby’s Christmas
Gift Suggestions

a tip from me and do your Christmas shopping early.

Many an American dining table may boast a centerpiece
of colorful gourds, heaped about their familiar cousin, the
pumpkin, as a tribute to the abundance of our land.

- _ But the bright orange symbol of the harvest season is

not unique to this country. In Europe, in fact, the
pumpkin finds much wider use than simply as an
ingredient for a pie or an autumn decoration.

One venerable French recipe, Regout de la Recolte, or
harvest stew, is traditionally served from a large, baked
pumpkin, which gives it a unique Navor and adds to the
festiveness of any dinner party. A special touch to the
original recipe comes with Irish Mist liqueur. Its taste,
reminiscent of mead (an ancient drink made from
fermented honey, water and malt), enhances the hearty
character of the ragout.

RAGOUT DE LA RECOLTE

1 pumpkin 8 to 10 Ib.
1/4 Ib, salt pork
1/2 cup coarsely chapped onion
2 Ibs, stewing beef
1/2 cup Irish Mist
2 packages unflavored gelatin
2 cups beef bouillon, heated
2 cups dry red table wine, warmed
2 cups carrots, scraped & cut into chunks
1 cup parsnips, scraped & cut into chunks
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Cut out 6-8 inch circle from top of pumpkin; refit top
loosely on pumpkin and bake in 3506 degree oven for 45
minutes, or until pulp is slightly tender. Parboil salt pork
for 10 minutes to remove excess salt. Drain, cube and fry
pork in heavy-bottomed pot until golden brown. Add
onion and brown in pork drippings. Remove onion and
pork. Pat stewing beef dry with a towel. Fry in salt pork
drippings. Remove beef and excess fat from pat and set
beef aside in shallow pan, Heat one-half of Irish Mist (1/4
cup) in small pan, flame and pour over beef. Dissolve
gelatin in bouillon. Place beef, pork and onions back in
pot. Add bouillon mixture and pre-warmed wine. Simmer
one and one-half hours. Add carrots; parsnips and remain-
ing 1/4 cup Irish Mist to ragout and simmer 45 min. Add
pepper and taste for seasoning, Serve ragout gravy in gravy
boat. Fill pumpkin with beef and vegetables. Serve beef
and vegetables from pumpkin, including small portions
of cooked pumpkin. If desired, pumpkin seeds can be
washed, salted and toasted in 350° F, oven for 20 min.
and used as a garnish on the ragout. Serves 4.

CROW (Corvus brachyrhynchos) — This familiar big
black raucous-voiced bird enjoys a somewhat
dubious reputation. It preys on the eggs and young
of many species of birds, including ducks, However,
ta its credit, the crow consumes large guentities
of insects, mice and reptiles as. well as wild fruits
and seeds, On the wintering grounds Its stable -
food is waste corn garnered from the harvested
fields. The crow arrives on its northern nesting
grounds in early March where its return is wel-
comed as a harbinger of spring.
