I posted this in 2014 and have kept a container in my fridge ever since. It is INCREDIBLE in yogurt or as a topping for MIAMs (Muffin in a Minute) or CinnaMinis
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 60 minutes
Makes about 2 cups Serving Size: 2 tablespoons
This is the taste of Fall on a spoon - and it is dead-simple! It is delicious swirled into your Greek yogurt with a few chopped walnuts or or pecans. Perhaps smeared on a slice of whole wheat nutty grained toast or use to flavor your favorite vanilla protein shake. I just like it on a SPOON!! And you can serve it to your friends or present it as a Holiday gift!
Ingredients:
One, 15-ounce can Pure Pumpkin Puree
One apple, peeled & grated (or 1/2 cup no sugar added Apple Sauce)
1 teaspoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup water
------------------------
3/4 cup Splenda Granular (or equivalent)
Stir together the pumpkin, apple, molasses, vanilla, spices, , lemon juice, water and salt in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
Reduce heat and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shiny. thick and velvety.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking stir in the Splenda (Splenda doesn't stand up well to long cook times), adjust your spices and add water a couple tablespoons at a time if needed to reach the preferred smoothness/consistency.
Store in covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Mine is always gone before I can verify that!!
