Pumpkin Pork Stew

NANCY CHAPMAN from Yorba Linda, CA

This is such an incredible dish! The aroma is wonderful! I love the favor and the texture of the dish. I have never thought of combining pumpkin and pork together and yet it turns out to be one of the best dishes I have ever tasted.
Better than sounds!

Karin Fritz from MONTAGUE, MA

I tried this recipe because the reviews were so good. The flavor is incredible. I used Pinot Grigio & broccoli as substitutions. I was surprised that the pumpkin flavor didn't stand out, instead everything blended to a perfect winter stew, making you wonder what were the ingredients ? This is a keeper! It's easy and fine for company.
Tears to my eyes!

Christina from McAllen, Texas

This recipe was AMAZING! I have been reading how healthy pumpkin is and I wanted to use it in dishes other than desserts. This recipe not only is healthy but very delicious!!! I added sweet potatoes the second time and it was even more delicious!
Suprisingly Tastey

Lisa from St. Louis, MO

Feeling quite daring one day, we decided to give this recipe a whirl. We were apprehensive about the pumpkin base. I would have never tried anything like this, but was curious after reading the other reviews. We were pleasantly surprised with the flavor - quite tastey. The encore meal was even better a couple days later.
Delicious

Joseph Lavin from Jersey City, NJ

I have to admit, I was somewhat skeptical at first but my partner and I thought this was so delicious. I will definitely make again and pass it along to family!!
Family loved it

Steve Bailey from Sonoma, CA

I made this and thought it fairly easy. The best pumpkin pork stew yet. 5 forks.

Great Winter meal

Katherine Ressler from LAKE HELEN, FL

I would have never cooked somethng like this unless I had seen it and read all the great reviews. We loved it. Going to try it with chicken next.
Pumpkin Pork Stew

Sharon Ann Means from BOONVILLE, MO

We left out the wine and cinnamon stick and it was still very good. We are going to try differnet kinds of meat to see if they work as well.
Dare To Be Different

Terrie Wolf from Peyton, CO

My boys are not great fans of anything "pumpkin," "pork" or "green bean"; or so they thought until now! The recipe, while plentiful, is supposed to provide six servings, but it proved to be barely enough for two hungry teenagers! Very flavorful, simple to prepare and what a great aroma!
Perfect Pumpkin Pork Stew

LOUANN SMITH from Plano, TX

Easy to follow recipe and great results! Great for those cold winter evening meals! Thank you Nestle!

ANNIE WATTS from PRICHARD, AL

Very good stew. Made it and stay with it for five days eating nothing but a salad on the side lost 5lbs. 1-lb for each day i was eating it. Helped lower my cholestrol.
Good and healthy

Evonne Robertson from Fraser, MI

The stew was very good tasting and healthy. It was easy to make also.
Wonderful Flavor

Gloria Gabrysch from CORPUS CHRISTI, TX

I have used pork with sweet potato so why not use pumpkin... A recipe worth trying and repeating!

CARLA CARMICHAEL from Coldspring, TX

This was a good stew. Didn't really taste the pumpkin in it and my stew seamed to be very thick. I kept adding more broth.

PUMPKIN PORK STEW

ANGELINA ROGERS from AKRON, OH

I had my doubts about this dish, but after reading the reviews it got, I had to try it. I used my slow cooker, put it together before church, and it was ready and waiting when we returned after a longer day than usual. It was rainy today, so this was good and comforting. I used stock instead of the wine, and a bit more spice. It made plenty to share with a neighbor, and we all enjoyed it very much. This recipe truly shows how many different ways to use pumpkin.
Yummm

M. Cissie Rice from Waterbury, CT

This looks like a delicious meal. It is not only a soup but it has it's meat and potatoes and vegetables too. It is worth the time to cut everything up and sit back and enjoy - yummy!
Wife Pleaser

Jim Carroll from Fort Collins, CO

Even my wife, who rarely eats veg. or fruit, asked me to make this often. It is delicious and very satisfying on a cold fall evening.

JIM APLIN from ORLANDO, FL

I was in the mood for a different kind of stew & a friend sent me this recipe for Pumpkin Pork Stew and he was right this is one of the best stew recipes around.
WARMING AND COMFORT DELUXE

CHERIE LONAS from RAPID CITY, SD

Talk about comfort food! I am not a stew/soup eater, but guess who went back for seconds! I have done this stew with garden fresh tomatoes, chicken, and I sprinkle ground cinnamon, rather then using the stick.....EXCELLENT!

Pumpkin Pork Stew

Norma Jones from ROBSTOWN, TX

Pumpkin Pork Stew is great I like using chicken in place of the Pork. Thanks for your help putting chicken together in the stew.
it was superb

chana tepfer from BROOKLYN, NY

It was so easy to make and my entire family loved it. Even my baby enjoyed it. I will no doubt be making this all the time.
Pumpkin Pork Stew

Alice Keeney from STRONGSVILLE, OH

I also made a few changes, substituting rosemary for the basil and, as we don't use wine, tried apple juice instead. I also doubled the garlic for a little extra flavor. This was pretty good and I might play around with other variations next time.
Something Different

heather green from national park, nj

I made this recipe with some of the substitutions suggested from others and some of my own. I used only a tsp of oil, one pound of pork, and two potatoes to make a lower calorie meal. My husband doesn’t like green beans so I used bean sprouts. I used rosemary as suggested and replaced the wine with fat free evaporated milk. Added the bean sprouts and milk in the last five minutes of cooking. It made for a unique dinner that is good enough to make again but not good enough to become a family regular. The leftovers tasted better after all the flavors had more time to meld. Next time I think I’ll use my extra can of pumpkin try the brownies though.
A nice hearty stew

Denise Perrin from Garden Grove, CA

This is really super for a cold evening. It's worthy of Sunday dinner! It was tasty and hearty. I'd make it again.
great

Jerry Rosen from SWAMPSCOTT, MA

I made this recipe, and because we don't eat pork, I substituted beef. It was excellent
Pumpkin Pork Stew

M Harris from St Pete, FL

Once again, Verybestbaking.com came thru. This stew was great! I know I'll be making it again, and again.
pumpkin stew

Carine Nadel from LAGUNA HILLS, CA

This was very easy and a good way for me to use up the remains of a huge pork shoulder roast, so my family (who hates leftovers)would enjoy our economic week!
Great with a few substitutions

Greta from TN

This is a great recipe, but due to what I had available these are my changes: no potatoes, cinnamon or green beans; libby's easy pumpkin pie mix instead of plain pumpkin; cream heated up (so it doesn't curdle) added at the very end instead of white wine; onion cut in larger pieces; thyme instead of basil (like the woman ahead of me suggested)! It turned out great, more of a soup than stew!
Review for Pumpkin Pork Stew

Sandy Vartorella from Durham, NC, USA

A good stew, easy to make. Very mildly flavored....I may adjust the seasoning a bit next time. Will also try substituting rosemary for the basil....just to see how it tastes, as rosemary goes well with pork.
