  1. I have made this several times, and each time it turned out magnificent. And for the record I should point out that regular jack-o’-lantern pumpkins will work just as fine. Where I live, we don’t have access to a wide variety so I have to use what’s available. And run of the mill garden variety pumpkins are just as edible.

  2. Guinea pigs fit great in pumpkins
    My G-Ma made stuffed pumpkin for Thanksgiving and it was so good. I was thinking of it and last I had it was over 30 years ago. I was just looking for some recipes and think I will do a pork stuffing with gold raisins and dried cranberries/Craisins(it;s a tremendous stuffing)

  3. Very quick but also very intelligent historical reference unless you're a pirate and you were keeping pumpkins cuz they kept for months on your ship and you were cooking pigs inside the pumpkins using it as a Crock-Pot before crock pots existed you wouldn't understand a Crock-Pot a piece of pork or pig in a pumpkin you ever heard of John Lafitte this was his favorite meal

  4. I have made this a few times per year now since watching the video about 3 years back. It's the first thing I think of when the Pie (sugar) pumpkins show up at the store. This season the pumpkins are a bit small (1/2 volleyball size ), so I just bought a large pork steak instead of a large pork butt. Even browned the bone up and shoved it in the pumpkin with the meat. Chef John, thank you!!

    Maybe I will make an out of season version with canned pumpkin some time. 😆
