Pumpkin Sensation Week: Day 6

A sweet and pumpkin loaded dessert dip to leave out at a party or use as a topping on fruit salad, ice cream or baked desserts. Since it does not contain any dairy you can leave it sitting out and not worry about it going bad or souring. Great warm or chilled so it can suit whatever need you might have.

Tricks
-Make sure to occasionally stir the sugar and water to prevent the sugar from burning
-Sugar will start to turn syrupy when the bubbles become thick and pop slower
-We used chai to help the pumpkin pop and we are finding out the chai tea is great for pumpkin anything and less expensive than all the other "pumpkin pie" spices
