Family Cookbook Pumpkin Pie Spread

Here's a recipe perfect for this time of year. I've heard there's a canned pumpkin shortage this year. You can easily substitute fresh roasted pumpkin. Just cut a pumpkin pie pumpkin in half, and remove the seeds. Place cut-side down into a casserole dish filled with 1 inch of water, and bake at 400 degrees until soft. Fork mash.

Ingredients:

1 pk cream cheese, softened

1 cup canned pumpkin

½ cup packed brown sugar

1 ½ Tbsp orange juice
2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp ground cloves

Directions:

Whip ingredients together until fully combined and smooth. Serve with gingersnaps.
