Oct. 23, 2008 - For the Love of Pumpkins-Part 1

   I love fall and I absolutely adore pumpkins.  They are so pretty to decorate with and yummy to bake with.  So during this "pumpkin season", I thought I would share with you some of the ways I use them!

Sweet Pumpkin Dip                                                                               

2-8oz pkgs. cream cheese, softened.

1 can or 15 oz of pure pumpkin puree

2 cups sifted confectioner's sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

Beat cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth.  Add sugar, cinnamon and ginger-mix well.  Cover and refrigerate for an hour.  Serve with fruit, graham cracker sticks, gingersnap cookies, muffins or bagels.

Thanks, Elizabeth, for the recipe! I just bought 2 pumpkins for $3.00 at Aldi's and am going to cook them down. Now I have another yummy recipe to add to my other pumpkin recipes. Thanks!
