Pumpkin Fruit Roll-ups

Chop pumpkin and cook in saucepan until soft. Use as little water as possible. Puree in blender or food processor until the consistency of thick applesauce.

* Add 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice to mixture. Mix well.

* Spread puree on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper (tape wax paper down so it won't curl over the pumpkin), leaving a 1-2 inch border around the edge.

* Preheat oven to 275 F and bake for 30-35 minutes. Turn off oven and leave door closed, letting the pumpkin dry 8-10 hours.

* When cooled to the touch, roll up and cut into 1-inch wide strips. Seal in ZiplockŪ bags and serve as a yummy, inexpensive alternative to commercial Fruit RollUpsŪ!

* OR leave flat and use Halloween-shaped cookie cutters to cut into fun holiday shapes.
