30 Pumpkin Dessert Recipes (from Sally's Baking Addiction)

plus a link to a page with a recipe for homemade pumpkin pie spice, which looks pretty good except for the addition of a pinch of black pepper, which she insists helps but personally I'd avoid.

I usually avoid both sugar and wheat. I'd recommend that most people avoid them most of the time. But we are heading into holiday baking season, and I love pumpkin and these spices, so I thought I'd post this OP and link for everyone here who also loves them.

1. Thanks, I love pumpkin.

I found a close/out on canned pumpkin and bought 20 cans. Couple of days ago I bought a fresh pie one and went to work. I’m going to stick to the canned stuff.

I use maple syrup as a sweetener. Just make a spread, no pies.

3. Interesting idea for a pumpkin-maple spread. I'm assuming it has to be

refrigerated. How long does it keep? Or can you freeze it in ice cube trays to use later?

5. If I make one can with other ingredients,

It never makes it more than a couple days in the fridge.
Spread it or eat it on a spoon.
The cans I got on sale listed only one ingredient, pure pumpkin.
The small pumpkin I bought made about the same amount as 2 cans. Wish I had bought twice as many cans.
Cream cheese, cinnamon and some nut flour are what I add to it.

2. You can replace the sugar and vanilla with apple juice for the cream cheese frosting.

Works for me, anyway.

4. Thanks, quaint! Sounds like a good idea.
