Pumpkin Shell Dish

from...http://www.ruralvermont.com/vermontweathervane/issues/fall/96010/recipes.shtml

1 10- or 12-inch pumpkin
4 apples, cubed & unpeeled
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 oranges, peeled and chopped; or 1 Tblsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey

Scrub the pumpkin or squash, leaving the stem on for a handle. Carve out a 5- or 6-inch circle from the top and save for a cover. Dig out seeds and soft interior and discard. Mix all ingredients together and spoon them into the shell. Put on the lid and place the filled shell in a hot oven on a pie plate. Bake until a fork can easily penetrate the shell (1-2 hours). Remove the cover and serve on the table from the shell. For dessert top with ice cream.
