Tasty Thanksgiving treat! Sweet & Sour Pumpkin dip
I love everything pumpkin, even soups and dips. Unfortunately my family doesn't share my love for the usual sweet pumpkin dips you see during the Thanksgiving season. So I came up with a recipe for what I've named Sweet & Sour Pumpkin Dip. It went over much better with my family, and I thought I'd share it here for those who like dips and the rich flavor of pumpkin but are not fond of sweet party or snack complements. This recipe is also quick and easy to make!
