Creamy Spiced Pumpkin

• 1 cup cooked pumpkin, mashed or 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 18-14 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon smooth almond butter (equally delicious here) or 1 tablespoon smooth cashew butter (equally delicious here)

1. Stir together in a microwave-safe dish the first 5 ingredients.
2. Microwave 1-1/2 min., just until hot- time will vary by machine of course.
3. Stir in the nut butter until well- combined.
4. Adjust the spices and sugar if desired.
5. Serve immediately.
6. Here's a yummy variation: Soak a tablespoon or two of raisins overnight in the juice; when preparing dish, add raisins and a few sprinkles of pumpkin pie spices such as ginger and allspice.
7. Please note, as well, that you can use any type of winter squash for this.
8. I love it with sweet butternut squash especially.
9. Jennifer's original used sweet potato- also wonderful!
