It was a rainy night of trick-or-treating here in Petaluma. After the kids were stripped of their damp furry costumes and put to bed, and before I fell asleep on the couch, we enjoyed a few helpings of this slow cooked spicy Stew. I added a little cinnamon and nutmeg to the broth which sweetened the pork and layered onto the peppery kick. Delicious with a few mini Heath Bars for dessert, you know, if you happen to have some on hand.
Chipotle Pork and Butternut Squash Stew

Brown the pork, transfer to crock pot. Add remainder of ingredients and slow cook on low for 8 hours. Serve with cornbread, or buttered tortillas.
