We are doing sauces for this #SundaySupper. I immediately went for a savory sauce, like a really good red wine reduction or a pasta sauce but then I thought of fall and the flavors of fall and my mind went to pumpkin!! Pumpkin ideas rattled around in my brain and then I came up with a decadent hot pumpkin caramel sauce. One that would be great with a really good ice cream or maybe even a spiced cake or loaf.
I went back to my favorite caramel sauce that is already dark and rich and added the pumpkin and fall aromatic spices. It turned out amazing!! 
What a quick and delicious sauce that screams fall, it is like eating liquid pumpkin pie!! Oh my heavens, is this good!!!
Open up here is a spoonful with ice cream coming your way!!!
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup half and half cream
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. nutmeg
- ¼ tsp. ginger
- pinch of cloves
- Melt butter with the salt and brown sugar in a medium sized pot over medium heat. Stir to combine, slowly add the cream and vanilla and bring to a boil. Boil rapidly for 2-3 min. Remove from heat and whisk in the pumpkin and spices. Bring back to a boil and simmer for 2 min. Remove from heat and serve warm over ice cream or cake.
