Pumpkin: It's not just for pie anymore.


Around this time of year I love cooking with pumpkin. It's so good in recipes both savory and sweet.

I saw this recipe for Salted Pumpkin Caramels on a food website a couple of weeks ago, and I've been obsessing over it ever since. Yesterday, I finally got around to making it.

I'm always a little leery of candy making. It can go wrong so quickly, but I count yesterday's attempt as a huge success.

I really stuck with the recipe on this one, with the exception of doubling the amount of pumpkin pie spice. I also found already toasted pepitas which saved me from having to toast them myself.

Crunchy from the pepitas on one side and salty on the other, with spicy, pumpkiny goodness in between. These are delicious. I'll definitely be adding this to my permanent recipe collection.
