Pudding - Pumpkin Custard 

Easily baked in jars or custard cups. Using fresh pumpkin and maple syrup and whole eggs.

In 4 qt pot (because it has nice straight sides for using immersion blender) combine:
32 oz pumpkin puree
2 t freshly grated ginger
1 T pumpkin pie spice
1 t salt
8 oz maple syrup
8 oz milk
8 oz heavy cream
(or coconut cream)
OR
(OR 16 oz milk without the cream)
6 eggs
Blend with immersion blender.
Allow time for the spices to hydrate, overnight in fridge or an hour or so.

Should make 10 six ounce wide mouth 1/2 pint jars or custard cups. Will fit easily into 2 inch hotel pan for the water bath.

Bake 350* (not convection) 40-50 minutes just until jiggly. Cracks are from overcooking.

The jars keep beautifully in the fridge with their own lids making a convenient yet decadent fall treat.
