Instructions

Line an 8" x 8" baking dish with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides, and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
In a medium size saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, pumpkin purée, butter, salt, and spice. Heat over medium heat and bring to a boil. Allow to boil for at least 8 minutes and up to 12 minutes, stirring often, and stopping when mixture pulls away from sides and bottom of saucepan as you stir. Remove from heat.

Notes

Pumpkin: I always measure pumpkin purée with measuring cups as the moisture content can wildly change the weight measurements, depending on the brand.
