Pumpkinsauce

Happy October! It's pumpkin pickin' season.

A nice little snack that I often enjoy is this 'pumpkinsauce' that I've so appropriately coined. It is similar to applesauce, but consists primarily of pureed pumpkin from a can.

Don't use the pre-made pumpkin pie filling, that is completely different with tons of added sugar, etc. Look at the ingredients on the can and make sure the only ingredient is pumpkin.

How to make: Spoon some pumpkin into a bowl, add a little bit of vanilla extract, and top with some cinnamon. Stir together and enjoy! Good cold or hot. Pumpkin is a vegetable, so this is actually healthy. If you close your eyes and image pumpkin pie, it might taste the same...

Ingredients:
Pureed pumpkin ($3 and up per can, depending on what brand and if organic)

Vanilla extract

Cinnamon

Prep time: less than five minutes.
