A Pumpkin Treat

This is a nice treat to whip up, when a few folks are coming over!  I thought the label of this organic pumpkin was so pretty, so I used it to display some pretty hydrangeas.  Serve this pumpkin dip with some thin ginger cookies or cinnamon graham cracker sticks.  Enjoy a little cup of fall!

Blend and chill the following:
8 oz. cream cheese
1 can (14 oz.) pumpkin
2 c. confectioners' sugar
1tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice

    I make this too but use maple syrup (the real stuff from trees though) instead of sugar. Adds a nice maple flavor.

    Thanks for the recipe. I like your idea of uing the can for the container. There are often fabulous graphics to be found on the most simplest of objects.
    Have a terrific holiday weekend. ~ Sarah
