1-1/2 cups Woodstock Organic Cane Sugar
4 Organic Eggs
1 can (15 oz) Organic Pumpkin Puree

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
3/4 cup Woodstock Organic Walnuts (finely chopped)

To begin:
Leave the sticks of Kate's Butter on the counter to warm for about 20 minutes. Slice in quarters and place in a large food processor.

To the butter, add:
Woodstock organic cane sugar and process until creamed.

Add to the food processor:
Organic eggs, one egg at a time and processing until each egg is combined

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The mixture will be thick and well creamed.

Taste the mixture and add a bit more maple syrup if need be. It should be just perfectly sweet.
