Pumpkin Custard
From Russellville Community Market
<p>Here is a sweet way to get your beta caroteen, protein and fiber. I have added an extra egg and doubled the recipe from the original. I use pumpkin and sorghum molasses, but butternut squash and honey would work as well.</p>Source: Cooking Well for the Unwell (Entered by M.E. Yamashita)
