Pumpkin Adds a Punch to Your Breakfast…

Make your Fall breakfast more appealing with Pumpkin Butter.  Put 2 cups of pumpkin puree in a saucepan.  Add a cup of brown sugar and a cup of water or apple cider for extra tang.  Stir and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and add your favorite seasonal spices.  Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring frequently.  Once your pumpkin butter is cool, store it in a jar in the refrigerator.   Spread liberally on breakfast breads and muffins, pancakes and even oatmeal.  Yummy!!

…and a Kick to Your Snacks

Go back to the pumpkin seeds and guts you set aside when making your pumpkin puree.  Rinse the seeds thoroughly, dry and lightly coat with oil.  Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and spread pumpkin seeds on sheet in a single layer.  Sprinkle with salt for a salty snack or brown sugar and cinnamon for a sweet snack.  Roast in 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes and munch, munch, munch!
