Amy,
I'm glad that you liked it! I've had trouble a few times with the setting up,
and I haven't figure out what the problem is, but I'm still trying. I seem to
remember that most of the problems do come when the pumpkin is too big, and the
recipe is more than doubled. I do seem to have best results with the smaller
(like the recipe calls for, when I can find them!) pumpkins, but the pumpkin in
the posted article was almost double, and it set up OK.
