Ingredients

    • 1 cup uncooked California Wild Rice
    • 3 Tablespoons butter
    • 3 cups chicken broth
    • 1 cup pecan halves (may use walnuts or slivered almonds)
    • 1 cup raisins
    • 1 cup dried prunes
    • 3/4 cup orange juice
    • 1/4 cup maple syrup
    • Zest of 1 orange
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • Ground black pepper to taste
    • 8 mini-pumpkins hallowed out

Instructions

Rinse the uncooked California Wild Rice in a colander until water runs clear.

In a heavy saucepan, sauté wild rice over medium heat in butter for 5 full minutes.

Grains will begin to burst and smell toasty. Add chicken stock, bringing to a boil. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients, mixing well.

Transfer to a generously buttered 1 ½-quart casserole. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 1 ½-2 hours.

During the last half hour of baking, place pumpkins on a baking sheet and place in oven unstuffed. Remove when wild rice is done. Mound wild rice into pumpkins, return to the oven and continue baking 30 minutes, until pumpkins are tender.
