3/4 cup brown sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons cinnamon
1 ¼ teaspoons ginger
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon salt
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. With an immersion blender, blend the eggs with the pumpkin, cream and bourbon.
3. In another bowl, mix the brown sugar together with the spices and salt, and then add into the pumpkin mixture and blend with the immersion blender.
