Surround each pumpkin with a garnish of parsley, baked apples or whatever. Carve the globe into wedges when you serve it...the stuffing should help the pieces hold their shape. Enjoy!

Next, the cranberry sauce. This one's easy and can be made either ahead of time or at the last minute. Place two or more cups of washed cranberries in a saucepan with three-fourths to one cup of honey and bring the mixture to a slow boil until about two-thirds of the berries have popped. Little or no water should be needed, and you can use more or less honey...or add more later to taste.

Then comes the creamed baby onions, prepared without animal milk. Start 'em steaming in a little water and in the meantime make the sauce by blending—until thoroughly liquified—one-half to three-quarters of a cup of cashews or cashew pieces to two cups of water. When the onions are tender, add the cashew milk and cook the combination slowly until the liquid has thickened. Season the sauce as you see fit.

For dessert, try baked apples with a bit of pure maple syrup and cinnamon in the partially cored center, or apple pie sweetened with honey and raisins in a whole-wheat pastry flour crust. Or follow your favorite squash, sweet potato or pumpkin pie recipe, substitute cashew milk for cow's milk and replace the thickening power of the eggs with two tablespoons of agar-agar flakes blended with a little water.

Hope we've been of some help to any of you who want to keep the traditional holidays...but don't want to take life or eat animal products. We wish you all a warm winter.
