Pumpkin with Dry Fruits

1 whole pumpkin (about 4 pounds)
3 sticks of cinnamon
100 gr dried apricots
100 gr dried figs
50 gr shelled hazelnuts
50 gr white almonds
50 gr seedless raisins
50 gr pistachios (whole)
50 gr shelled walnut
1 pomegranate seeds
500 gr granulated sugar
100 gr water

Wash and clean the pumpkin well. Cut off the top one finger-width below the stem to form a lid. Clean out the inside, mix all the ingredients together and stuff them inside the pumpkin. Replace the lid and wrap the pumpkin completely in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Pour the cold water around it. Cook for about 4-5 hours at 180-200 degrees C. When cool, sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds and serve whole; for garnish whipped cream.
