Whether you’re making a Pumpkin Ale or Pumpkin Pie from scratch this Thanksgiving, don’t waste those tasty seeds!
Always on the look-out for recipes that could be improved with malt extract, I found this one and kicked it up a notch using Briess CBW® Sparkling Amber to give it a deep, caramel flavor. That’s a wonderfully warm, appealing flavor for any Thanksgiving feast or delightful snack. Pair it with your Pumpkin Ale or a Malted Milk Shake, and you’ll have plenty to be thankful for.
