When I saw this on Taste of Home, I got so excited. This was some time ago, but I like to make it every fall. It is so delicious and so much fun to serve it right in the pumpkin! We all really enjoy it, and pumpkin stew is such a warm and cozy comfort food. This recipe was submitted to Taste of Home by Donna Mosher of Augusta, Montana. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
