Grandma Kathrina's Pumpkin Pudding

October is a great month to share the recipe for Grandma's Pumpkin Pudding. It's an all-time family favorite. Yummy!

3/4 cup granulated sugar (Florida Crystals)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 - 15 oz. can pumpkin
12 oz. soy milk
2 - 3 Tbsp. cornstarch thinned with water

Mix all ingredients together in kettle and bring to a simmer. Add cornstarch, stirring constantly until well blended. Cook three minutes and remove from heat. Chill completely.

To serve, mix the pumpkin filling with equal amounts of non-dairy whipped topping. Spoon into parfait glasses and garnish as desired.

*This makes excellent pie filling as well.   Simply mix with non-dairy whipped topping (50/50) and spoon into a pre-baked pie shell.  Garnish as desired and serve.
