Would you believe me if I told you that most of the “pumpkin” flavor you associate with pumpkin spice anything comes from the spice, not the pumpkin? It’s true. Pumpkin on its own has a very mild light and dare I say plan flavor to it. It begs for some warming spices to meet their true potential as the flavors we all know and love.
I know, I know… I can hear some of you now, asking “Really Jenn? Another Pumpkin Recipe?” To that, I say yes! Yes, another Pumpkin recipe. “Why?”, you might ask.

Really… most people associate “pumpkin” with pumpkin spice and that isn’t even really the taste of pumpkin, but warming, yummy spices, blended together to a perfect fall-like “mood” of flavor.
