PUMPKIN DIP
(or Spread for Gingerbread, Quick Breads, or Pound Cake)

1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened*
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 tsp cinnamon

Whip cream cheese until fluffy. 

Add brown sugar and mix until no lumps remain. 

Stir in pumpkin and cinnamon until well-blended. 

Serve as a dip with slices of apple, pear, jicama, other firm crudites, or gingersnaps. Or serve as a spread with pound cake or spicy quick breads such as gingerbread and date nut bread.

*This recipe can be made with light cream cheese, but then it is more like a salad dressing.

Makes 2 cups
