1 cup water
2 cups apple cider
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
4 cubes chicken bouillon

pot and heat through. May be served with a dollop of sour cream on top.
When selecting a pumpkin for a recipe, choose a small, deep
orange-colored pumpkin, that's not too soft or discolored. The smaller pumpkins have a
sweeter flavor, and are much better for cooking than the big
"jack-o-lantern" pumpkins.
