One of the biggest producers of pumpkin is North America and also here was found the oldest evidence of pumpkin.

How to prepare Pumpkin Pie?

1. Preheat oven to 220 degrees.

2. Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in small bowl. Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture. Gradually stir in cream and milk. Pour into unbaked pie shell.

3. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 170 degrees; bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 2 hours. Serve immediately or refrigerate. (Do not freeze as this will cause the crust to separate from the filling.)

1. Sauté ground beef, onion, and garlic with a little bit of oil for about 5-10min.

2. Add spices, tomato paste and beef broth.

3. Simmer, covered for about 3 hours (I cook it usually 20-30 minutes in pressure cooker).

4. Add beans and cook it for another 15min.

5. Serve with sour cream and shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

1. Cut pumpkin in half
