• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. In medium saucepan, mix pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Heat to simmering over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to keep mixture from sticking to bottom of pan.
