Notes: This recipe came from my good friend and neighbor, Jeri Steinbrenner. Jeri is a very kind and loving kind of friend and she often brings Don and I little surprises of “good things to eat”, like this stew. One night she came over with this beautiful stew that you actually cook in a pumpkin. We loved it and I snagged the recipe from her for this cookbook. I know you will all enjoy this one!
