Big people too, my husband tasted it while home for lunch and loved it! He likes that it has a mild pumpkin flavor. It sure is a nice way to enjoy some autumn fruits!

Caramel Pumpkin Pie

By Lorraine

Caramel Pumpkin Pie is the recipe we are all making with the group Tuesdays with Dorie.

This recipe begins by browning sugar over medium-high heat until melted. I stopped short of cooking as long as the directions suggested. Heavy cream is then added to the hot syrup and stirred until smooth to make caramel. I did have a piece that did not melt back and I just lifted it out before proceeding.
