How to Make Autumn Melange Of Pumpkin Vegetables And Fruit

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs of cubed pumpkin and sauté for 5 minutes, ensuring all sides are coated in butter.
  3. Push the pumpkin to one side of the pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Add 2 stalks celery (finely chopped), 1 medium onion (finely chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) and cook for 3-5 minutes, until softened, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced) and toss to combine with the other vegetables and accumulated juices.
  6. Pour in 1 ½ cups of apple cider and add ½ cup fresh or frozen cranberries. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender, stirring occasionally.
  7. Most of the liquid should have reduced. If it's too watery, remove the lid and continue to simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.
  8. Stir in ½ cup of walnuts (roughly chopped), 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, and ¼ cup of fresh parsley (chopped).
  9. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with crusty bread and your favorite beverage.
