Wash the pumpkin well, place on a pie pan, and bake in a moderate oven, 350 F, for 1-1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and cut a hole in the topof the pumpkin about 3" to 4" diameter. Scoop out pulp and seeds. Mix together the honey, cider, and melted butter or margarine. Baste the mixture over the flesh of the pumpkin. Replace top, return to moderate oven and continue to bake for 35 to 40 minutes longer, basting occasionally. Serve whole, scooping out the individual portions at the table, or cut into wedges as you would a melon. Ladle a little of the cider mixture over each serving. |
