How often do you make a pumpkin pie and have a small amount of pumpkin puree left over? Here’s a quick dip to make with your leftover pumpkin puree, which can be sweet or savory. Below I have some ideas for two different versions of this dish. Serve with your favorite crackers, bread, carrots, celery or nuts. If you are in a pinch you can also substitute organic pumpkin in a can.

Ideas:

For Sweet: Use cinnamon, nutmeg, powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, or add fresh fruit such as an apple, pear, dates, or banana.

For Savory: Use garbanzo beans, white beans, sweet potato, herbs such as oregano, thyme, parley, cilantro. Add onions, fresh peppers, or any green such as spinach, green onions, kale.

IDEAS: This could also be served along with a cheese board for a new fresh taste. Serve with cheese that match your choice of sweet or savory.

Try and use a freshly roasted pumpkin, see my instructions below.
