Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice off top 1/2 inch of each pumpkin and scoop out seeds. On ungreased cookie sheet, bake pumpkins for 15 minutes.

In large skillet, heat broth or water to simmering over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until onion has softened but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, sage, thyme and bread crumbs. Cook, stirring, 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.

Lightly fill pumpkins with stuffing. (Any remaining stuffing may be baked separately in a lightly oiled baking dish.)

Bake until stuffing is lightly browned and heated through, about 15 minutes. Be careful not to overbake pumpkins because they will split.

This recipe yields 8 servings.

Comments: Look for baby pumpkins from late October through December. Hollowed out, they make charming tureens for individual servings of soup or this delicious herb and vegetable stuffing.
