This was very tasty! Even DH, who squinched up his nose when told what was for dinner, had two big bowls! I was initially hesitant about adding the sugar at the end because I was afraid that it would make it too sweet, which is our usual problem with many pumpkin dishes. The single Tbsp was the perfect amount though. It took the edge off some of the spice and brought out a subtle sweetness from the carrots and pumpkin (I used a sugar pie pumpkin). I think I simmered the stew for about 20 minutes - once I got everything in the pot, I mixed up the cornbread and put it in the oven. When the bread was done, the pumpkin was tender. :-) I'll definitely be making this again, maybe serving over rice instead of with the bread next time. Thanks!

I have a huge collection of fundraiser type cookbooks from schools and country towns from all around Australia. These books contain many tried and true old-fashioned family favourites.
