Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 Cups instant rice
• 4 Cups water
• 29 Ounces (oz) pumpkin puree
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) pumpkin pie spice
• 1.5 Cups brown sugar
• 0.5 Cups butter, melted
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste

Steps

1. In a large saucepan, combine the instant rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the rice to simmer until the water is completely absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
2. While the rice is cooking, in a separate saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warmed through and the sugar is dissolved.
3. Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the pumpkin mixture until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
4. Serve the Spiced Pumpkin Rice warm as a side dish, and enjoy the comforting blend of flavors.
