Venison Stew with Pumpkin and Cranberries

chopping a pumpking

I bring out the big tools for cutting my pumpkins.

Did you know there is a World Championship Pumpkin Chunking competition? And that Discovery Channel airs it on Thanksgiving (8:00 p.m.)? I didn’t know this until a few weeks ago when Rick learned about it while researching something or another. You can see pictures and learn more at the web site, punkinchunkin.org. Not only did I discover the existence of a sporting event where adults build siege weapons and launch squash, I went to it this weekend.

What a blast. Literally. Pumpkins flying out of cannons and everything. The crowds going crazy for all the competitors, thrilled when the pumpkin soars, sad when it fails to launch.

We ended the day with visions of homemade trebuchets in Rick’s head and visions of pumpkin savories and sweets in mine (I was troubled by the amount of perfectly delicious pumpkin that is wasted at this event, but they use a tough Australian variety that I’ve decided is inedible…based on absolutely no evidence at all).

Fortunately, I have a ton of pumpkin in my freezer still, just waiting to be transformed into something delicious. Starting with Venison and Pumpkin Stew. Read the rest of this entry »

Taste of Autumn Venison Stew

All the flavors of fall: venison, apples, butternut squash, cinnamon and clove!

When the air gets crisp and I start feeling the urge to hunker down in my comfys all night, I start craving hearty stews. But I don’t always want potatoes and carrots in my stew; to me that gets kind of boring after a while. Besides, in my area, the farmer’s markets are brimming with fresh local apples and a variety of squashes. Oh how I love butternut squash! Read the rest of this entry »
