Pumpkin Dip I
I love pumpkin as I’ve said many times before. The sad part is, The Boy, is not a fan. So I have to find other places & occasions to make pumpkin goodies. I had a family reunion to attend the day after returning from a 7 day vacation in California. Needless to say I wanted something EASY to make for it. I had seen some pumpkin dip recipes, and I found two versions, one that involved marshmallow fluff, and one that didn’t. I decided I’d try the both. So far, I’ve made the non-fluff version. I had seen a great recipe on Annie’s Eats, but ended doing something in between hers, and this one, to use more pumpkin & less sugar. I served it with ginger snaps, apple slices, graham cracker sticks & apple chips. Here it is, and let me tell you, I got asked about about the recipe multiple times.
