People speak of comfort foods; this is a comfort drink. Thick, flavorful, fragrant pumpkin cider made with pumpkin purée is a seasonal treat that can be served to kids or turned into a cocktail with spiced rum.
RECIPE: SPICED PUMPKIN CIDER

Ingredients For 2 Drinks

1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie mix, which is seasoned)

2-1/2 cups apple cider

1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Cinnamon stick

1/3 cup spiced rum (or substitute more apple cider)

Garnish: whipped cream, fresh-ground nutmeg

Preparation

1. COMBINE the pumpkin, cider, spice and cinnamon stick in a medium-large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil; then simmer for 20 minutes. If you’d prefer a thinner drink, add more cider to achieve desired consistency.

2. REMOVE the cinnamon stick; strain the mixture to remove any clumps. Add the rum stir. Garnish with optional whipped cream or nutmeg. Serve warm.
