Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves

4. Pour the pumpkin mixture into small bowls or glasses and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dollop of whipped cream before serving, if desired.
