Pumpkin Pie Coffee Creamer

Crystal Miller
This tastes just like the Pumpkin Spice Flavored Creamer you buy at the grocery store except that it has no preservatives, corn syrup, or artificial flavors and if you are allergic to dairy you can make it with a rice or soy creamer instead of the half-n-half.
Ingredients
1 cup half-n-half (or a rice milk based creamer)
½ cup cane juice crystals (I use white sugar instead)
3 heaping Tablespoons canned pumpkin
½ t vanilla
½ t cinnamon
¼ t ginger
1/8 t nutmeg
1/8 t cloves
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat until sugar crystals dissolve and ingredients are well combined. I like to whip it up a bit in a blender after it cools and then I store it in a jar. It will keep in the refrigerator for as long as the expiration date on the half-n-half that you used.
Shake well before each use, this is where a jar comes in handy, pour into hot coffee and mix well. Enjoy!
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

I just love this idea!!!! I have to say, I never try those flavored creamers at the store because they leave a metallic taste in my mouth which is not only unpleasant, but must be telling me something about what's in it! But they always smell so good! The pumpkin in this one is speaking to my soul at the moment. I can't wait to try this one.
