Clean the outside of the pumpkin under running water. Cut off the
top of the pumpkin to make a lid, making the opening 6 to 8 inches in
diameter, and clean out the inside. Replace the lid and bake the
pumpkin in a roasting pan at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large casserole dish and add the cubed
meat, a little at a time, and brown the meat on all sides. As the
meat browns, remove it to an 8-quart heavy Dutch oven. To the
remaining oil in the casserole, add the onion, green pepper, and
garlic and saute the mixture until the onion softens. Add the
sauteed mixture to the browned meat. Add the beef broth and bring
this mixture to a boil.
Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, cilantro, bay leaf, oregano,
thyme, and the crushed chile. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for
1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook, covered, for 15 minutes.
Finally, add the corn and the peaches, and cook, covered, for an
additional 10 minutes.
Carefully ladle the beef mixture into the pumpkin shell, replace
the lid, and bake the filled pumpkin on a large, shallow roasting pan
at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes, checking to make sure the shell is
not getting too soft.
If you are a brave soul, you can remove the filled pumkin to a large
platter. Or, if you are normal, you can leave the filled pumpkin in
the pan and decorate the pan with Indian corn and sprigs of dried,
colored leaves. As you serve the stew, scrape off parts of the
inside of the pumpkin, too.
