Pumpkin Flan

Culinary Concoctions by Peabody just did a post on Pumpkin Ginger Crème Caramel. It looks so yummy. The boys enjoyed the pumpkin muffins and the pumpkin soup that we made from pumpkins that they had picked out in a local pumpkin patch. They've also all developed a taste for flan. Puddleglum and I have used a mix by a company called Con-Gelli that included a packet of caramel, but we haven't been able to find it in the stores lately. We did find a mix, but we had to make our own caramel. Puddleglum got the temperature too high, and we would up with hard candy stuck to the ramekins, but the flan was okay. We even make homemade flan without a mix. It was descent, but not as creamy as I wanted. This recipe by Peabody looks like a keeper. It's pumpkin patch time, so maybe we can make this soon.
