Come October-November I start seeing a lot of recipes that call for pumpkin purée… the truth is, the thought of looking for the canned version never even occurred to me. I didn’t even know it existed before I started blogging… So, I looked it up on the internet and discovered that it is plain and simple baked pumpkin, puréed. How easy is that? As I am going to share with you a delicious recipe that calls for some of this pumpkin deliciousness, here goes the “recipe” for it (if you can even call it a recipe… it is that simple!).
