Autumn is the perfect time for outdoor theatre... Bad Outdoor Theatre... complete with corny lines, atrocious delivery, and overacting buffoons.
Right Lardy?

Behind the spoiler lurks the best Autumn recipe ever. Well, tied with Mom's applesauce recipe, maybe.
Click Here For A SpoilerSpicy Baked Pumpkin:
You will need:
1 cooking pumpkin. (The kind marketed as "sugar pumpkin" is what I usually use. It's the traditional shape but about as big as a toddler's head. Make sure you buy a pumpkin that's meant for cooking, not decoration.)
1/2 cup pepper jelly
1/4 cup cooking oil (almost any veggie or nut oil will do. Olive oil is okay, too.)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly butter or oil a large glass pan, or two small ones.
Rinse the pumpkin and pat dry. Use a heavy, sharp knife to split the pumpkin lengthwise. Cut into quarters, then scrape out the seeds and strings. (Rinse the seeds and roast them later, if you like.)
Cut the quarters into eighths and then cut the eighths again crosswise, if desired. Set aside.
Combine the other ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add the pumpkin wedges and toss lightly to coat them with the mixture. Remove them to the baking dish and pour any remaining mixture over them.
Bake about 1/2 hour, turning at least once halfway through. (You can add a few tablespoons of water during this time if the jelly looks like it might burn.) Pumpkin is done when a wedge falls easily off a fork's tines and/or peels easily away from its rind.
Serves 2-4. A great side dish with your favorite poultry or to contrast with the pungency of your favorite stewed greens.
