This scrumptious recipe is a Paula Deen creation. When you make it, I guarantee your house will smell amazing. Fall is just days away and all things pumpkin will be making their way to the table. If you make this for your family or friends, I'm sure it will be a hit.
While Olivia and I are sorry to see summer pass and the bounty that garden fresh ingredients provide, we are also looking forward to enjoying all of the yummy things we have home canned and frozen. Most foods are available year round anymore, but eating things when they are in seasons and REALLY fresh, is such a gift. Pumpkin is one of those seasonal favorites. Hope you enjoy this tasty recipe featuring an autumn favorite.
