Pumpkin usually visits our homes once a year as a pie.

In this Hot From The Kettle class, we’ll release these orange orbs from their typecast performance and let them shine in both sweet desserts and savory dishes where they take center stage or work as a great side.

High in fiber and bursting with vitamins, pumpkin is full of surprises. Menu Highlights: Sweet and Savory Pumpkin Bread Puddings; Quick Pumpkin Soup; Pumpkin Ice Cream; Pumpkin Crème Brulee; plus some pumpkin sides that will add a new twist to Thanksgiving traditions. (and since we're breaking rules here we'll also show how pumpkin can be a part of everyday meals throughout the year!)
